Table 3. Feeding intolerance in the treatment of annular pancreas.
| Variables | Feeding intolerance | Without feeding intolerance | Total | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of cases | 8/52 (15.4) | 44/52 (84.6) | 52 (100.0) | |
| Surgical technique | 0.50 | |||
| Diamond-shaped DD | 6/44 (13.6) | 38/44 (86.4) | 44/52 (84.6) | |
| Side-to-Side DD | 2/8 (25.0) | 6/8 (75.0) | 8/52 (15.4) | |
| Intestinal decompression after surgery | 0.71 | |||
| Trans-anastomotic tube with NGT decompression | 6/36 (16.7) | 30/36 (83.3) | 36/52 (69.2) | |
| NGT decompression only | 2/16 (12.5) | 14/16 (87.5) | 16/52 (30.8) | |
| Early enteral nutrition through Trans-anastomotic tube | 2/11 (18.2) | 9/11 (81.8) | 11/52 (21.2) | 0.64 |
Logistic regression showed that the surgical technique, trans-anastomotic tube and early feeding did not increase the risk of feeding intolerance postoperatively (P>0.05). The data were presented as numbers and percentages. DD, duodenoduodenostomy; NGT, nasogastric tube.
