“…Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is an extensive surgical procedure performed for periampullary disease. Although advances in surgical techniques have improved the mortality rate, postoperative morbidity after PD remains high at 30%–40%, with pancreatic leaks and fistulas being most serious complications ( 1 ). The use of an internal pancreatic short stent with pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) reduces the rate of these complications; however, stent–related complications including stent occlusion and abnormal migration, can occur.…”

Transanastomotic pancreatic duct stent placement during reconstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy is widely performed to prevent postoperative pancreatic fistulas and duct stenosis. However, stent-related complications, such as stent occlusion and migration, may occur. Here, we report a rare case of a migrated pancreatic duct plastic stent. After pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy, the stent migrated to the jejunum and served as a nidus of the stent–stone complex, which developed jejunal obstruction. The stent–stone complex was removed by explorative laparotomy.
