Abstract

We reported a case in which endoscopic pancreatic stenting was effective for the postoperative stenosis of the main pancreatic duct. A 59-year-old female who had a retroperitoneal tumor(Schwannoma), firmly adherent to the pancreas, underwent resection of the tumor. Soon after the operation, abdominal pain, fever, and elevation of the serum amylase level appeared, which resisted medication. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatogra-phy showed a stricture of the main pancreatic duct in the head of the pancreas, and dilatation of the distal pancreatic duct. The stricture was considered to be the cause of abdominal pain and endoscopic pancreatic stenting was performed. Pain was relieved soon after treatment, and serum amylase level was normalized. The stent was removed 210 days later. She has been free from complaints after the stem removal.
