Background/aim: Useful prophylaxes of chyle leak (CL) after pancreatic surgery have not been established. The aim of the study was to identify an early clinical predictor for CL.
Patients And Methods: Fifty-five patients who underwent subtotal stomach preserved pancreaticoduodenectomy (SSPPD) were included.
Background/aim: Prediction of local recurrence and distant metastasis is important for patients with pancreatic cancer following pancreatic resection. The aims of this study were to identify a novel prognostic score which combines distance from common hepatic artery (CHA) or superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and examine serum CA19-9 for predicting local recurrence in patients with pancreatic cancer following resection.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study comprised 149 patients who went through elective pancreatic resection for pancreatic cancer between June 2007 and December, 2017.
A 53-year-old male visited his primary physician for epigastric and back pain. Abdominal-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a simple cyst of the pancreatic tail attached to the stomach. A distal main pancreatic duct (MPD) was clearly dilated, but no pancreatic tumor was identified around the stenosis of MPD by CT scan and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).

View Article and Find Full Text PDFHemorrhage from ruptured pseudoaneurysm is a rapidly progressing and potentially fatal complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Stent graft placement for hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm has recently been reported as a valid alternative to transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of the common hepatic artery (CHA) with distal arterial stenosis treated by stent graft placement for pseudoaneurysm and balloon dilation for arterial stenosis due to pancreatic fistula after PD.

- Type B and C hepatic cirrhosis are significant contributors to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with type B patients showing better liver function post-surgery compared to type C patients.
- A study at Jikei University Hospital analyzed clinical data from 16 type B and 20 type C cirrhotic patients who underwent liver resection for HCC, focusing on various health metrics and outcomes.
- Results indicated that type B patients were generally younger and had superior preoperative health indicators, with fewer postoperative complications, leading to the conclusion that their residual liver function is better than that of type C patients.
Background: In pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), early ligation of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA) before efferent veins has been advocated to decrease blood loss by congestion of the pancreatic head to be resected. In this study, we herein report the utility of early identification of the IPDA using an augmented reality (AR)-based navigation system (NS).
Methods: Seven nonconsecutive patients underwent PD using AR-based NS.
Article Synopsis
- * Six patients underwent the procedure using a unique SILS Port through an umbilical incision, with successful outcomes, minimal blood loss, and no need for conversion to more invasive surgery.
- * Follow-up results over 15.5 months showed no complications or recurrence, indicating that SILS is a safe and effective technique comparable to multiport laparoscopic surgery.
