Gastric Emptying After Infracolic or Supracolic Gastrojejunostomy Following Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Patients undergoing whipples pancreaticoduodenectomy tend to develop delayed gastric emptying. The study compares two types of anastamosis of stomach to jejunum (supracolic and infracolic) and compares whether it influences the gastric emptying. The clinical evidence of delayed gastric emptying is correlated with objective evidence of liquid and solid emptying by radionuclide study. The study also tries to evaluate whether pancreatic leak correlates with delayed gastric emptying
