Abstract

Necrotizing pancreatitis can involve the biliary system due to its close proximity. When destruction of part or whole of extra-hepatic biliary tree is encountered at operation, the situation may sometimes not be suitable for a biliodigestive anastomosis. The present case report is about such a situation, which was handled by utilizing the serosal surface of the pyloro-antral region of stomach to reconstruct a conduit for flow of bile along natural passage. Post-op recovery was uneventful and result was heartening.
