Abstract: | ABSTRACTPostprocedural bleeding is a rare but life threatening complication of endoscopic cystogastrostomy which may require surgical management in some patients. The presence of adhesions and inflammation due to antecedent acute pancreatitis, difficult location of the bleeding site and breach in the posterior wall of stomach pose significant challenges during the surgical management. Here we have described the surgical approach and technique that we used to manage three patients who required surgery for life threatening bleeding after endoscopic cystogastrostomy. |
