Archimedes Absorbable Internal Biliary Stent in Liver Transplants to Prevent Bile Leak.

Background: Biliary complications, especially bile leaks, are an important cause of early postoperative morbidity and, rarely, mortality after liver transplant. The risk is higher in living donor liver transplant (LDLT) compared to deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT). Attempts to reduce bile leaks have included refinements in the biliary anastomosis technique and use of various external and internal stents, with inconsistent benefits.

Dual graft living donor liver transplantation - a case report.

Background: Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has emerged as an equally viable option to deceased donor liver transplant for treating end stage liver disease patients. Optimising the recipient outcome without compromising donor safety is the primary goal of LDLT. Achieving the adequate graft to recipient weight ratio (GRWR) is important to prevent small for size syndrome which is an uncommon but potentially lethal complication of LDLT.

Limited distal duodenal resection: Surgical approach and outcomes. A case series.

Introduction: Tumours involving the duodenum are usually treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy, which may be associated with considerable morbidity. Limited distal duodenal resection, a relatively smaller procedure, can be done in some of these patients. We describe our experience with this operation for such lesions.

Cytogenetically confirmed primary Ewing's sarcoma of the pancreas.

Ewing's sarcoma is a highly aggressive malignant tumour most commonly affecting long bones in children and adolescents. It is part of the Ewing's sarcoma family of tumours (ESFTs) that also include peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour and Askin's tumours. ESFTs share common cytogenetic aberrations, antigenic profiles and proto-oncogene expression with an overall similar clinical course.
