METHOD OF TREATING PANCREATIC LEAKS FOLLOWING PANCREATIC TRANSPLANTATION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B17/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: pancreatic leaks following pancreatic transplantation is eliminated. That is followed by X-ray and ultrasound guided drainage of the leak regions. A gastroscope with end-face optics is used to localise a greater duodenal papilla of the transplant. A pancreatic duct of the transplant is selectively catheterised on the side of a duodenal lumen. That is followed by X-ray controlled localisation of the pancreatic leak. The pancreatic duct of the pancreatic transplant is stented. A proximal end of the stent is arranged in a major pancreatic duct and blocks the stenosis from an oedema, while its distal end is found in the intestinal lumen.

EFFECT: method provides a lower risk of interduodenal anastomosis complications following the pancreatic-duodenal and donor duodenum transplantation by improving the visualisation of the donor duodenum and the arrangement of the stent in the major pancreatic duct with blocking the stenosis from the oedema.
