The impact of cirrhosis on short and long postoperative outcomes after distal pancreatectomy.

Background: The impact of cirrhosis on the postoperative outcomes of distal pancreatectomy is yet to be reported. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of distal pancreatectomy in patients with cirrhosis.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicentric study patients with cirrhosis who underwent planned distal pancreatectomy between 2008 and 2020 in French high volume centers.

Duodenal perforation in giant inguinal hernia.

Large and complicated hernias are doubly challenging; not only must the hernia be treated according to a degree of severity, but it also necessary to prevent compartment syndrome during reintegration of the viscera. Possible complications range from intestinal necrosis to perforation of the hollow organs. We are presenting the rare case of a duodenal perforation in a man with large strangulated hernia.
