Core Tip	Pancreatoduodenectomy is a technique with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Surgeons try to find the best technique of reconstruction in order to decrease postoperative complications. We compare the two most frequent techniques of reconstruction after pancreatoduodenectomy, namely pancreatojejunostomy and pancreatogastrostomy, to determine which of the two is better. We offer a systematic review of the main papers published with all the pros and cons of each technique. The best method to deal with the pancreatic stump after pancreatoduodenectomy remains questionable. The choice of method of pancreatic anastomosis could be based on individual experience and on the surgeon’s preference and adherence to basic principles, such as good exposure and visualization.
