| Summary: | We are reporting a case of a 22 year-old female patient, who underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy previously for a
solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas and was re-admitted seven years later with a pancreatic leak following disruption of
the pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a large collection at the level of the pancreatic
anastomosis with major disruption of the pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis. The pancreatic stump was refreshed as well as the
jejunal site and a duct to mucosa anastomosis was performed. She remains well with a follow up of 18 months. |
