The Success of Endoscopic Stenting for Anastomotic Stricture of Hepaticojejunostomy after Pancreaticoduodenectomy in a Child with Pancreatic Injury
نویسنده
چکیده
The management of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) complications for pancreatic injuries in children is rarely reported. We performed PD for an 8-year-old boy with severe pancreatic injury due to a traffic accident. However, the patient suffered from anastomotic stricture of hepaticojejunostomy. We performed repeated double balloon endoscopy (DBE) dilation and stenting for the anastomotic stricture. There was no cholangitis from endoscopic stenting for 11 months following the procedures. Balloon dilation and stenting using DBE for children with anastomotic stricture of hepaticojejunostomy can be safely and usefully performed.

Successful endoscopic dilation of severe bilioenteric strictures with a wire-guided diathermic dilator and short-type single-balloon enteroscope.
Recently, balloon enteroscopy has made possible the use of endoscopic approaches to the surgically reconstructed intestine [1–4], so that hepaticojejunostomy strictures can be treated endoscopically. We describe the successful endoscopic dilation of a severe hepaticojejunostomy stricture with a wire-guided diathermic dilator (6-Fr, 180-cm Cysto-Gastro-Set; Endo-flex, Voerde, Germany) (●" Fig.1)...

A recent study reported that good outcomes were obtained after balloon enteroscope-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [1]. A number of proce...
متن کاملEnteral stenting for gastric outlet obstruction and afferent limb syndrome following pancreaticoduodenectomy
BACKGROUND Obstruction of the afferent or efferent limbs of a gastrojejunal anastomosis is a potential complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) resulting in either gastric outlet obstruction or afferent limb syndrome. The use of self-expanding metal stents for the management of anastomotic strictures after resection of pancreatic cancer has not been well studied. We present four such cas...
متن کاملEndoscopic characteristics and usefulness of endoscopic dilatation of anastomotic stricture following pancreaticojejunostomy: case series and a review of the literature
The incidence of pancreatitis induced by anastomotic stricture following pancreaticodigestive tract anastomosis as a late-onset adverse event has been reported to be 3% or lower, but some cases repeatedly relapse and are difficult to treat. Endoscopic identification and treatment of the anastomotic site are considered to be difficult, and only a small number of cases have been reported. We pres...
متن کاملBalloon enteroscopy-assisted biliary drainage using a diathermic dilator followed by placement of a novel ultra-slim metallic stent.
Endoscopic management of malignant biliary stricture after hepaticojejunostomy is challenging. Although balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been developed, dedicated devices are still insufficient. We present a case of successful enteroscopic dilation using a wire-guided diathermic dilator [1–5], and placement of a novel, ultra-slim, uncovered,...
