Pancreaticoduodenal anastomotic dehiscence complicated with peritoneal hemorrhage following pancreaticoduodenectomy is a serious complication which threatens patients′ life. Prevention and mangement of pancreaticoduodenal anastomotic dehiscence and peritoneal hemorrhage is the focus in the surgical treatment. Operation is the most reliable treatment for bleeding. While reoperation is difficult for most surgeons and the risk of fistula and rebleeding after reoperation exist. Some procedures will affect the endocrine and exocrine function of pancreas.
