Abstract:

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.
