Endoscopic management of duodenal stump perforation in a Billroth II reconstruction after right hemicolectomy
Poster Abstract

Abstract Text

Postoperative duodenal fistulas are associated with high morbidity, particularly in patients with surgically altered anatomy. We report successful endoscopic management of a complex duodenal fistula in a 69-year-old man with prior Billroth II gastrectomy, complicated by colon cancer–related duodenal perforation after surgery. Persistent high-output fistula following two surgical revisions prompted a multidisciplinary endoscopic rescue approach. Using a duodenoscope, biliary and pancreatic ducts were selectively cannulated and plastic stents placed with distal ends in the gastric remnant to divert bile and pancreatic secretions away from the fistula. A fully covered enteral metal stent was deployed across the duodenal defect, combined with continuous nasoduodenal suction drainage. Drain output progressively resolved. Four-week follow-up imaging confirmed fistula closure, allowing safe removal of all devices.
