Here, we present the stent-bridging pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) technique, which uses a stent to bridge the remnant pancreas to the stomach during open pancreaticoduodenectomy. The stent-bridging PG aims to simplify the anastomosis, achieve complete diversion of pancreatic juice, and minimize manipulation of the pancreatic remnant.

Blood pressure monitoring is one of the essential vital signs, and for a majority of patients, measuring it utilizing non-invasive techniques provides accurate values. However, there are situations in which the blood pressure requires more exact, specific, and reliable measurements.
FAQs
The stent provides structural support across a narrowed or obstructed segment, preventing the affected area from closing enough to block movement. Once positioned, it preserves a channel through which fluids or other contents can pass. This mechanical support is central to relieving obstruction, improving drainage, and helping restore flow without requiring an open surgical approach.
Endoscopic guidance allows clinicians to direct the stent through the body to the affected passage and deploy it across the specific area requiring support. This controlled placement helps align the stent with the obstruction, narrowing, injury, or treatment site. Precise positioning contributes to symptom improvement while maintaining the minimally invasive nature of the procedure.
Endoscopic Stent Placement accesses the affected passage through an endoscope rather than through an open surgical approach. Clinicians can place support directly across the narrowed or obstructed region while using a less invasive route. The procedure may therefore relieve symptoms and restore passage while reducing the need for open surgery in appropriate clinical situations.
The stent must be positioned across the particular segment where narrowing or obstruction interferes with movement or drainage. Endoscopic stent placement can be used in the gastrointestinal, biliary, pancreatic, and airway systems, but the affected system determines which passage requires support. Correctly spanning that site allows the stent to address the relevant clinical problem.
Clinicians first use an endoscope to reach the affected passage and identify the narrowed, obstructed, or injured area. They then guide the stent through the endoscope and deploy it across that segment. After placement, the stent remains positioned to maintain an open channel, support drainage or passage, and assist healing when required.
Clinicians may use this approach to relieve an obstruction, manage a stricture, or support healing after an injury or intervention. Its applications include the gastrointestinal, biliary, pancreatic, and airway systems. The technique is especially relevant when restoring movement of fluids or other contents can improve symptoms and reduce reliance on open surgery.
Successful placement can reopen a passage enough to improve the movement of fluids or other contents, support drainage, and relieve symptoms associated with obstruction or narrowing. In selected situations, the stent also supports healing after injury or intervention. These outcomes make the procedure useful across several clinical systems while avoiding the greater invasiveness of open surgery.
