Two-staged hepato-pancreatoduodenectomy and interventional pancreaticojejunostomy.
Two-staged pancreatoduodenectomy, including exteriorization of the pancreatic juice and second-look pancreaticojejunostomy, has been recommended for high-risk patients to avoid pancreatic leakage, which often causes intra-abdominal hemorrhage. We present a new technique of interventional pancreaticojejunostomy under both fluoroscopy and endoscopy without second-look laparotomy. A 77-year-old woman with local recurrence and liver metastasis from colon cancer underwent hepato-pancreatoduodenectomy with the external drainage of pancreatic juice via the pancreatic duct tube without pancreaticojejunostomy. Two months later, the jejunum was punctured with the insertion of a 5-F needle-knife into the pancreatic fistula during endoscopic observation of jejunal lumen, followed by the insertion of two 0.35-inch guidewires into the jejunum and the pancreatic fistula. Finally, a 10-Fr stenting tube was placed between the jejunum and the pancreatic fistula. No complications developed.
