title: Hemorrhage from the pancreatic cut end into the jejunum after binding pancreaticojejunostomy: report of a case.
abstract: Recent studies have described that binding pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) decreased the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistulas and complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy. We herein describe the case of a 77-year-old male with papilla of Vater cancer who underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy with end-to-side binding PJ. He developed postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding from the pancreatic cut end three separate times. Transcatheter arterial embolization was performed for the first bleeding event. Surgical hemostasis was performed and a temporary jejunostomy was constructed at the jejunal stump for the second event. For the third bleeding event, endoscopic coagulation through the jejunostomy was performed successfully, and no further bleeding was noted.
