We report the case of a 42 year-old patient who had undergone gastric resection and Billroth I reconstruction for a duodenal ulcer 15 years earlier. The patient was admitted to our Department for a high output biliopancreatic fistula which developed after another gastric resection with Billroth II reconstruction which was performed for a peptic stricture of the gastroduodenal anastomosis. At laparotomy, a complete disconnection of the ampulla of Vater was found, with the duodenal stump oversewn 5 cm distally to the papillary area. After plasty of the biliary and pancreatic ducts, a direct anastomosis between the new ampulla and a Roux-en-Y jejunal loop was performed. The post-operative course was uneventful. The details of the surgical technique are reported.
