Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy after ERCP that required emergency laparotomy, for duodenal perforation, is presented. During the operation, an unsuspected double perforation (bile duct and portal vein) was found and successfully treated. When the surgical specimen was only attached by a large branch from portal vein, this branch was encircled and opened with identification of the biliary stent. Portal vein branch was clamped for safe removal of the biliary stent with minimum loss of blood. Operative time was 398 minutes.Recovery was uneventful. Absence of endoprosthesis in the common bile duct may arise suspicion of wrongful insertion towards adjacent organs and must be dealt with caution.
