Anastomotic leaks and gastric fistulas are recognized complications after sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Nevertheless, taking into consideration that most pancreatic head resections are performed for malignant disease with poor prognosis, long term pancreatico-jejunal anastomotic durability has not been well examined; similarly, the management of its stenosis has not been well assessed [1].
Case: Here we present a case of a 69 years old male patient with history of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis and ampullary fibrosis managed by pancreatico-duodenectomy presenting for 10 years delayed onset of recurrent acute pancreatitis with signs of pancreatico-jejunal anastomotic stenosis, managed surgically with revision of pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis.
