Objective: Aim: To improve treatment outcomes of patients with unresectable pancreatic head cancer complicated by obstructive jaundice by improving the tactics and techniques of surgical interventions.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Depending on the treatment tactics, patients were randomised to the main group (53 people) or the comparison group (54 people). The results of correction of obstructive jaundice by Roux-en-Y end to side hepaticojejunostomy (main group) and common bile duct prosthetics with self-expanding metal stents (comparison group) were compared.

Background: The treatment of hepaticojejunal anastomotic strictures in patients with surgically altered anastomosis is challenging. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage is being established as a feasible biliary drainage procedure. How can oblique-viewing endoscopic ultrasound (OV-EUS) safely reach the treatment area in the afferent limb for EUS-guided hepaticojejunostomy? This is a key, meaningful, and challenging question.

Background: Hepaticojejunostomy anastomotic stricture (HJAS) is an adverse event after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) which can result in jaundice and/or cholangitis. With endoscopy, HJAS can be managed. However, few studies report the specific success and adverse event rates of endoscopic therapy after PD.

An 83-year-old male with a history of Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy) due to pancreatic cancer, underwent endoscopic retrograde colangiopancreatography (ERCP) for acute cholangitis. Because of the altered anatomy, an upper gastrointestinal endoscope was used. Severe stricture of the hepaticojejunal anastomosis was found.
