Symptomatic Pancreaticojejunal Anastomotic Stricture After Pancreaticoduodenectomy Managed by Longitudinal Pancreaticogastrostomy: A Report of Two Cases

Symptomatic pancreaticojejunal anastomotic stricture is a rare complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Literature for the management of pancreaticojejunal anastomotic strictures is limited. Revision of pancreaticojejunostomy anastomosis, endoscopic dilation, stenting of pancreaticojejunal stricture, and modified Puestow procedure have all been described with variable outcomes. We present a report of two patients who developed symptomatic pancreaticojejunal anastomotic stricture following a pancreaticoduodenectomy, managed by longitudinal pancreaticogastrostomy with no complications, and resolution of symptoms with an average follow-up interval of 45 months.
