Cholecystojejunostomy can palliate biliary obstruction from pancreatic cancer. However, this gallbladder-to-jejunum surgery may lead to rare but serious complications like abscesses and bleeding.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Cholecystojejunostomy is an option for biliary obstruction palliation in pancreatic cancer.
  • This procedure creates a gallbladder-to-jejunum anastomosis for bile drainage.

Observation:

  • A patient developed complications 8 years after cholecystojejunostomy for chronic pancreatitis.
  • Observed complications included chronic cholecystitis, GI bleeding, recurrent hepatic and brain abscesses, and anastomotic varices.

Findings:

  • Complications from cholecystojejunostomy are rarely reported.
  • This case highlights potential long-term sequelae of the procedure.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should be aware of the potential for delayed complications after cholecystojejunostomy.

  • Further research may be needed to understand and mitigate these risks.
