Reinforced Pancreaticojejunostomy With or Without glubran2

Tissue adhesives have gained popularity in various fields of surgical practice. There are various types of tissue adhesives, each with their own adhesive mechanisms and uses. Basically, a tissue adhesive forms bonds with its substrate, ensuring sufficient adhesion. These bonds can either be chemical, of which covalent bonds are the strongest, or physical, including hydrogen bonds or van der Waals forces. Furthermore, the total strength of the glue bond depends on the balance between interaction within the tissue adhesive (cohesion) and between the tissue adhesive-substrate interface (adhesion). Tissue adhesives can either be glues, intended to independently connect various structures (i.e., wound edges), or sealants, used to cover and protect an anastomosis .

Except for external use, tissue adhesives can also be used intracorporeally. Various tissue adhesives are being used in cardiovascular surgery, plastic surgery, and, increasingly, surgery of the GI tract .

Tissue adhesives are promising tools for wound closure. They distribute forces throughout the wound more evenly and noninvasively than sutures and staples, are strong and flexible, and do not interfere with the wound-healing process. Also, the technique of tissue adhesive application to the wound is easy and standardizable, resulting in less variation in technique between surgeons .

By using tissue adhesives as sealants of GI anastomosis, enhancing standard anastomotic techniques. Numerous research projects have been undertaken to assess the applicability of available tissue adhesives in GI surgery; however, no recent literature provides the surgical community with an up-to-date overview of the progress in this field .

•After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written consent. Eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the Glubran®2 group (Group A) or the Control group (Group B) using a computer-generated randomization sequence with permuted blocks of 4 and 6. Allocation concealment was ensured using serially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes prepared by an independent statistician. Each envelope was opened by the scrub nurse or anesthesiologist immediately after the completion of the pancreaticojejunostomy anastomosis, before final hemostasis and abdominal closure
