Abstract
Stricture of the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis after pancreatic head resection presents with recurrent pancreatitis and pancreatic pain. MRCP has good specificity in the diagnosis of anastomotic obstruction, but lacks sensitivity. Pancreaticojejunal revision is safe, but rarely effective, as a means of pain relief in patients with the pain syndrome associated with chronic pancreatitis.
