Abstract
Summary: A case is reported in which during the course of emergency surgery for a bleeding anastomotic ulcer following a Billroth I gastrectomy (performed for duodenal ulcer), the lower ends of the bile and pancreatic ducts were severed. Repair was achieved by anastomosing the cut ends of the two ducts together, and the side of the common duct to the side of the duodenum. The convalescence. was good and two and a quarter years later the patient is in excellent health.
