Surgical treatment of pancreatic diseases is always associated with a large number of complications. Postoperative hemorrhage is a specific complication of pancreatic surgery requiring a clear classification and surgical strategy. According to literature data, postoperative hemorrhage occurs in 3-30% of cases. Incidence of hemorrhages depends on intraoperative, anamnestic, histological and postoperative factors. Early postoperative hemorrhage (within 24 hours after surgery) is usually a consequence of technical errors in intraoperative hemostasis, perioperative coagulation disorders. The mechanism of delayed bleeding is more complex and often associated with various arrosive factors: pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, abscess. Currently, there is no a single treatment algorithm for patients with postpancreatectomy hemorrhage. According to various researchers, contrast-enhanced CT is preferred for diagnosis. In recent years, the role of endovascular hemostasis has significantly increased. This problem requires further study and development of a single treatment and diagnostic algorithm that will reduce mortality in these patients.
