Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of pancreas: Clinicopathological features and long-term survival after surgical resection.

Introduction: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas can progress from low-grade dysplasia to high-grade dysplasia and invasive carcinoma.

Methods: In this single-center retrospective series, we analyze the clinicopathological features and long-term follow up of patients who underwent pancreatic resection for IPMN, from January 2009 to December 2019.

Results: 31 patients were diagnosed with IPMN: 9 males and 22 females.

Distal pancreatectomy: experience in a National Hospital.

Aims: To compare the short-term outcomes of patients undergoing open DP (ODP) and laparoscopic DP (LDP); and to analyze the association between the section site of the pancreas and pancreatic fistula.

Materials And Methods: Clinical, perioperative, and histopathologic data of patients who underwent ODP and LDP between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: 70 patients were included.

[Infected necrotizing pancreatitis. Video-assisted retroperitoneal debridement].

The step-up approach for infected necrotizing pancreatitis, consisting of broad-spectrum antibiotics, drainage followed, if necessary, by minimally invasive necrosectomy, has replaced open surgery as the standard of management. Video-assisted retroperitoneal debridement (VARD) is a surgical minimally invasive necrosectomy. This is a 5 cases series (2 female and 3 males) with severe acute pancreatitis and infected pancreatic necrosis who underwent step up approach and VARD.

[Characteristics of pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm in patients treated at a National Hospital in Peru].

In order to analyze the clinical, pathological, and surgical characteristics of pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN), an analysis of the patients from the Pancreas, Spleen, and Retroperitoneal Surgery Service of the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital in Lima, Peru, was performed from January 2009 to October 2018. The presence of ovarian stroma was used as a diagnostic criterion for MCN. From ten patients with an average age of 47.
