Abstract Haemobilia describes blood loss from the biliary tract and classically presents as Quincke’s triad: upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), jaundice and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. We discuss the case of a 70-year-old male with a previously stented Bismuth 1 hilar cholangiocarcinoma who presented with haematemesis. He had a similar presentation a month ago where a forward viewing gastroscope identified fresh and altered blood in the distal stomach but no clear source of bleeding. During this admission, a side-viewing duodenoscope identified bleeding from the periampullary region, which was managed by inserting a fully covered self-expanding metal stent (fcSEMS) within his pre-existing uncovered SEMS to tamponade the haemorrhage. This case highlights the importance of using a side-viewing duodenoscope for patients with UGIB on a background of a stented cholangiocarcinoma and inserting a fcSEMS within an uncovered SEMS is feasible and effective in managing these patients.

410 patients were treated for pancreatic and periampullary carcinoma in 1968–1987 of whom 89 (21.5%) underwent resection. Hospital mortality decreased from 33% in 1968–1972 to 0% in 1983–1987, but the morbidity rate remained unchanged. The trends were similar in patients ≥ 70 and < 70 years of age. The pylorus-saving technique did not increase mortality, morbidity, operative blood loss or the incidence of delayed gastric emptying, but it did reduce the operative time by one hour (p< 0.01). The real 5 year survival for periampullary cancer was 52%, but none of the patients with pancreatic carcinoma survived for 5 years.It is concluded that age as such is not a limiting factor for pancreatic resection. Resection can be performed with acceptable mortality and survival rates even in patients over 70 years of age if enough attention is paid to careful patient selection and proper preparation. The long-term prognosis is nevertheless related to tumour histology. The recent decline in operative mortality is mostly due to the resections being performed by the same group of surgeons. The best biopsy, and also palliation, is radical removal of the suspicious mass, provided that this can be performed with minimal risk.

Background & Objectives:Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has become a standard operative procedure for both benign and malignant lesions of pancreatic head and periampullary region. Pancreatic Fistula (PF) is the most troublesome complication and heralds the development of other complications. The procedure was associated with high morbidity and mortality in the past but with the identification of various risk factors associated with the development of PF, the management has changed dramatically. Similarly, Diabetes mellitus (DM) and poor glycemic control is associated with various adverse postoperative events. So, the objective of this study was to identify the association between DM and postoperative occurrence of PF.Materials & Methods:This was a prospective cross-sectional study enrolling a total of 72 patients. Patients were screened for the presence or absence of DM based on guidelines by American Diabetes Association in January 2009. After surgery, patients were observed for the development of PF. The association between these two was assessed using Chi-Square test.Results:Out of 72 patients, 12 had DM. All the patients who had DM did not develop PF; in contrast 15 patients who developed PF were non-diabetic.Conclusion:Diabetes Mellitus was found to be protective in preventing the occurrence of PF postoperatively.
