Recently, indications for endoscopic clips have expanded to include closure of gastrointestinal fistulae and perforations. A 62-year-old man with remote history of surgery for peptic ulcer underwent right hemicolectomy for a large hepatic flexure mass with proximal colonic dilatation. During surgery, inadvertent pinpoint duodenotomy of the afferent Billroth II limb resulted in a duodeno-cutaneous fistula. Despite total parental nutrition, cutaneous bile drainage persisted. The duodenal fistula was closed during upper endoscopy using three endoclips. Cutaneous bile drainage stopped, and the abdominal wall defect healed. This is the first published case of endoclip closure of an iatrogenic duodenal fistula from a Billroth II afferent limb.

Background: There is controversy regarding which is the best reconstruction technique after the pancreatoduodenectomy. Currently, there are no studies comparing the three most frequent reconstruction techniques: Whipple + Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy (WRYGJ), pyloric-preserving + Billroth II (PPBII), and Whipple + BII (WBII).
Methods: Between 2012 and March 2023, 246 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with the following type of reconstruction techniques: (1) WRYGJ: 40 patients; (2) PPBII: 118 patients; and (3) WBII: 88 patients.

Introduction: Gangrenous cholecystitis is a serious complication of untreated gallbladder inflammation, necessitating immediate intervention. The primary resolution involves cholecystectomy, the surgical removal of the gallbladder.The Billroth II gastrectomy, named after Theodor Billroth, addresses gastric conditions by removing a portion of the stomach and reconnecting the remaining section to the small intestine.

Duodenal stump fistula represents an infrequent but serious complication after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy with Billroth II or Roux-en-Y reconstruction for gastric cancer. The present study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopic double half purse-string sutures plus "8" pattern of stitching for reinforcement of duodenal stump. The data of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy with Billroth II or Roux-en-Y reconstruction were retrospectively analyzed between August 2022 and June 2023.
