EMERGENCY PANCREATICODUODENECTOMY IN NON-TRAUMATIC PATIENTS: A CASE REPORT AT MILITARY HOSPITAL 175
Main Article Content
Abstract
Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a difficult and complicated surgery with high risks of postoperative complications. Emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy in non-traumatic patients is performed in cases of complications of tumors around the ampulla of Vater such as obstruction, bleeding… or complications of ERCP. Our clinical case is a 47-year-old female patient with no history of chronic diseases, admitted to the hospital with hemorrhagic shock due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding from a tumor in the D2 colon. The patient was transfused, resuscitated, and underwent emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy in an unstable hemodynamic condition. The patient was stable postoperatively and discharged after 8 days. Through this case, we see that emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy in non-traumatic patients is feasible in selected cases.
