Brief Summary  
Pancreatico-duodenectomy is one of the commonly performed procedure for
periampullary/distal cholangio/head of pancreas carcinoma. Post operative pancreatitis is an
emerging concept, recently being studied as one of the most important contributing factor of
Post-operative pancreatic fistula, which is one of the major complication of
pancreatoduodenectomy. Rectal indomethacin, a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug,
when given in a single dose has been shown to prevent pancreatitis in patients undergoing
ERCP. In this study, we will be administering rectal indomethacin at the time of induction of
anesthesia to the experimental arm of the study and compare the results in terms of incidence of
post-operative pancreatitis in the two groups.
