ABSTRACT
Postoperative fluid collection is a major complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy and can lead to increased mortality and hospital length of stay. External drainage has widely been used for postoperative fluid collections. Recently, EUS-guided drainage has also been used successfully in treating postoperative fluid collections. A 60-year-old woman was admitted due to weight loss and jaundice. She underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for cholangiocarcinoma of the common bile duct. After 2 weeks, she had fever with abdominal pain and leukocytosis. CT showed a increased fluid collection in superior recess of lesser sac and EUS-guided drainage was performed. The symptoms resolved without any complication after drainage. This is the first case report of EUS-guided drainage for lesser sac in Korea.
