Compared to the continuous inverting suture group, patients who underwent duodenal stump reinforcement with the two hemi-purse-string technique demonstrated a significantly shorter duodenal stump suture time (298.2\u2009\u00b1\u200953.8\u00a0s vs. 326.8\u2009\u00b1\u200978.4\u00a0s, t = -3.109,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.002) and required fewer stitches (4.47\u2009\u00b1\u20090.63 vs. 6.35\u2009\u00b1\u20091.37, t = -12.892,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Regarding the success of embedding, a successful primary embedding was achieved in 100% (107\/107) of cases in the two hemi-purse-string suture group, compared to 99.1% (109\/110) in the continuous inverting suture group. No cases in either group experienced duodenal serosal tearing during the reinforcement procedure. The duodenal stump embedding was completed according to the predetermined plan in all patients in both groups (107\/107 vs. 110\/110). Importantly, no incidents of duodenal stump leakage, pancreatic fistula, or intra-abdominal haemorrhage occurred in either group, indicating comparable safety profiles between the two techniques.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The two hemi-purse-string suture used for duodenal stump reinforcement can shorten the suture time and has no postoperative complications such as duodenal stump fistula.
