• This reconstruction technique is inspired by the open Blumgart pancreaticojejunostomy, and has been modified to fit the constraints of the laparoscopic field.
• The principle of this technique is to utilize trans-pancreatic sutures to create an invagination of the small bowel, which encapsulates the pancreas parenchyma, and the duct-to-mucosa anastomosis, on the anti-mesenteric side of the bowel.
• Trans-pancreatic sutures are placed through the full thickness of the pancreas to prevent pancreas capsule tearing and relieve tension on the duct-to-mucosa anastomosis.
• All knots on the outer layer of the anastomosis are tied on the anterior surface of the pancreas facilitating easier laparoscopic suturing.
