Abstract

Stenosis of the pancreaticojejunostomy is a late and rarely symptomatic complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy, observed in approximately 30% of cases. Treatment of symptomatic strictures is difficult. We report a case of reoperation for stenosis of the pancreaticojejunostomy responsible for recurrent pancreatitis. The treatment strategy is discussed.
