Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on patients who had surgery for high-risk intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) that included a mural module, focusing on the relationship between dysplasia grade and the mural module location.
- The research involved 82 patients, revealing that nearly half had high-grade dysplasia or invasive carcinoma away from the mural module, indicating that local treatment might not be safe or effective.
- The results suggest that pancreatectomy (removal of part or all of the pancreas) remains the best treatment option due to the potential risks associated with localized treatments.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to analyze the clinical and radiological characteristics of patients with suspected pancreatic acinar cystic transformation (ACT) based on available imaging data from 2003 to 2021.
- Of the 64 patients included, 53% were classified as having "certain" ACT, while 47% were "uncertain," with no significant difference in the number of imaging criteria between these groups.
- The findings indicate that the existing imaging criteria for diagnosing ACT often overlap with other conditions, suggesting that these criteria may be inadequate for making definitive diagnoses in some patients.
Background: Three randomized controlled trials have reported improved functional recovery after Laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD), as compared to open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD). Long-term results regarding quality of life (QoL) are lacking. The aim of this study was to compare long-term QoL of LPD versus OPD.

This study aims to assess the risk of pre-malignancy or malignancy in case of MPD dilatation with no visible mass nor obstructive calcification on computed tomography scan (CT-scan) in a population operated for it.
Patients And Methods: All patients operated on from November 2015 to December 2019 in our center for a significant dilatation of the MPD without visible obstructive cause on CT-scan were included.
