The role of intraoperative frozen section of central neck lymph nodes in the management of patients preoperatively diagnosed with low- risk differentiated cancer.

Introduction: Histological examination during surgery (FS) has a place in the surgical management of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Extending the indication for limited surgery to 4 cm tumor size (ATA guidelines 2015) cytologically verified DTCs, increases the emphasis on accurate patient selection. In our work, we reflected on the effectiveness of FS and its relationship to optimal patient management.

Collision of a neuroendocrine tumor and ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas: a rare case report.

Despite the increased incidence of pancreatic cancer, reported data of collision pancreatic tumors are very rare, limited just to sporadic cases. There are only two described cases of the collision pancreatic tumor consisting of neuroendocrine and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in the literature. Currently, we are presenting a case of a young female patient with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma surrounding a smaller focal lesion of the well-differentiated neuroendocrine pancreatic tumor.

Postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreatic resection.

Background: The failure of pancreatic anastomosis after the proximal pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and the failure of pancreatic stump after the distal pancreatectomy with a resulting postoperative pancreatic fistula remain the most feared complications after pancreatic resection. Surgeons have been trying to find a reliable reconstructive technique of pancreatic anastomosis for decades.

Methods: A literature search was performed to January 2020.
