Pancreatic duct occlusion (PDO) without anastomosis has also been proposed to alleviate the clinical consequences of POPF in selected patients after PD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>To assess the safety and effectiveness of PDO with mechanical closure after PD in patients with an atrophic pancreatic body-tail and a small pancreatic duct.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We retrospectively identified two female and two male patients from April 2019 to October 2020 through preoperative computed tomography of the abdomen. Among them, three patients underwent PDO with mechanical closure after PD, and one underwent PDO after pylorus-preserving PD. In addition, patients' medical records and medium-and long-term follow-up data were analyzed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Postoperative histological examination revealed a solid pseudopapillary tumor in two patients, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in one patient, and chronic pancreatitis with pancreatic duct stones in one patient. However, none of the patients developed biochemical or clinically relevant POPF, with no postpancreatectomy hemorrhage, biliary leakage, delayed gastric emptying, intra-abdominal abscess, or chyle leakage. Among the four patients, three developed new-onset diabetes mellitus, and one had impaired glucose tolerance. Furthermore, three patients received pancreatic enzyme supplementation at a dose of 90,000\u2005Ph. Eur. units\/d, and one was prescribed a higher dose of 120,000\u2005Ph.
