Abstract OBJECTIVES Post-lobectomy bleeding is uncommon and rarely studied. In this study, we aimed to determine the incidence of post-lobectomy haemorrhage and compare the outcomes of reoperation and non-operative management. METHODS We conducted a single-institution review of lobectomy cases from 2009 to 2018. The patients were divided into two groups based on the treatment for postoperative bleeding: reoperation or transfusion of packed red blood cells with observation. Transfusion correcting intraoperative blood loss was excluded. One or more criteria defined postoperative bleeding: (i) drop in haematocrit ≥10 or (ii) frank, sustained chest tube bleeding with or without associated hypotension. Covariates included demographics, comorbidities and operative characteristics. Outcomes were operative mortality, complications, length of hospital stay and readmission within 30 days. RESULTS Following 1960 lobectomies (92% malignant disease, 8% non-malignant), haemorrhage occurred in 42 cases (2.1%), leading to reoperation in 27 (1.4%), and non-operative management in 15 (0.8%). The median time to reoperation was 17 h. No source of bleeding was identified in 44% of re-explorations. Patients with postoperative haemorrhage were more often male (64.3% vs 41.2%; P < 0.01) and more likely to have preoperative anaemia (45.2% vs 26.5%; P = 0.01), prior median sternotomy (14.3% vs 6.0%; P = 0.04), an infectious indication (7.1% vs 1.8%; P = 0.01) and operative adhesiolysis (45.2% vs 25.8%; P = 0.01). Compared with non-operative management, reoperation was associated with fewer units of packed red blood cells transfusion (0.4 vs 1.9; P < 0.001), while complication rates were similar and 30-day mortality was absent in either group. CONCLUSIONS Haemorrhage after lobectomy is associated with multiple risk factors. Reoperation may avoid transfusion. A prospective study should optimize timing and selection of operative and non-operative management.

Introduction: We aim to report an uncommon case of post ERCP perforation that effectively managed conservatively in non-hepatobiliary surgery centre. Case report: A 46-year-old man diagnosed to have obstructive jaundice secondary to distal common bile duct (CBD) stone. He underwent ERCP at a private centre, sphincterotomy was performed, but, the operator had failed to insert the stent and complicated with post ERCP perforation evidenced by contrast extravasation beyond 1/3rd of the CBD and referred to our centre. Patient was subjected for re ERCP. There were difficulties in cannulating the CBD and stent was inserted. Cholangiogram revealed contrast leak around the pancreatic duct and bifurcation of hepatic duct. There was no evidence of CBD stone. Computed Tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed extensive subcutaneous emphysema on the right side of the abdomen to right inguinal region, extensive retroperitoneal free air and pneumoperitoneum, but there were no free fluid or contrast extravasation. The patient subjected for non-operative management (NOM) for the complication and kept fasting with total parenteral nutrition and intravenous antibiotic. He recovered well with the opted management. Patient was programmed with Gastrograffin study after 10 days that showed no evidence of contrast leak to suggest free bowel injury. He was allowed orally after that and was discharged well after 15 days with stent in situ. During follow up, he was well, and the stent removed after 3 months. Patient planned for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and on table cholangiogram. Conclusion:  Post ERCP perforation is uncommon but lethal. Early recognition of the complication is crucial hence appropriate management can be arranged to avoid death. To date, surgery is not the only choice available to manage this complication.

Pancreatic pseudocysts and foci of walled-off necrosis (WON) are well-known complications of acute pancreatitis. We present a case of severe gallstone pancreatitis complicated by WON, fistulization to the bowel and gastrointestinal bleeding. Bleeding was localized to a pseudoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery within the WON using imaging and endoscopy. Angiography and image-guided therapy were then used to control bleeding with coil-embolization. To our knowledge, this is the first report of non-operative management of a patient with severe pancreatitis complicated by WON and a bleeding pseudoaneurysm with multiple communications to the hollow viscera. Therapeutic options are discussed and a thorough literature review is included. Abbreviations: EGD: esophagogastroduodenoscopy; ERCP: endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography; GDA: gastroduodenal artery; GI: gastrointestinal; IEP: interstitial edematous pancreatitis; IPDA: inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery; WON: walled-off necrosis.
