Oligometastatic pancreatic cancer - prognostic factors for oncosurgical individualized therapy.

Currently, no international consensus includes surgery as part of the standard of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma care. There is weak evidence to support the general introduction of surgical resection in the metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treatment. However, in the rare cases of oligometastatic spread there is increasing evidence that surgical intervention can lead to favourable outcomes.

Preoperative nutritional support in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery affects PREPARE score accuracy.

Background: This study aimed to validate the accuracy of the Preoperative Pancreatic Resection (PREPARE) risk score in pancreatic resection patients.

Patients And Methods: This prospective study included 216 patients who underwent pancreatic resection between January 2015 and December 2018. All patients in our cohort with weight loss or lack of appetite received dietary advice and preoperative oral nutritional supplementation (600 kcal/day).

[Splenectomy via the Transdiaphragmatic Approach].

The spleen is one of the most commonly injured organ in blunt traumas to the chest and abdomen. Splenic injury can be a serious complication of fracture of the left 9th to 11th rib. The authors present a case report of a 65-year-old male patient with a blunt trauma to the left chest and abdomen, diagnosed with multiple left rib fractures, left hemothorax and splenic injury with a small subcapsular hematoma with no signs of active splenic bleeding.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with an unusual course of the hepatic artery.

Introduction: Variations in hepatic artery anatomy are very common in the population. The aim of this study is to evaluate the rates of individual types of hepatic artery variants in the population of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), assess the accuracy of preoperative staging CT imaging to identify hepatic artery variants, and evaluate the impact of the hepatic artery variants on perioperative and postoperative morbidity of PD patients.

Methods: A prospective observation study of 147 patients undergoing PD for a pancreatic head pathology at the 1st Department of Surgery, University Hospital Olomouc between 1/2015-12/2018.

Major iatrogenic bile duct injury during elective cholecystectomy: a Czech population register-based study.

Purpose: Bile duct injury (BDI) remains the most serious complication following cholecystectomy. However, the actual incidence of BDI in the Czech Republic remains unknown. Hence, we aimed to identify the incidence of major BDI requiring operative reconstruction after elective cholecystectomy in our region despite the prevailing modern 4 K Ultra HD laparoscopy and Critical View of Safety (CVS) standards implemented in daily surgical practice among the Czech population.

Enzyme replacement following total pancreatectomy; population analysis.

Introduction: Total pancreatectomy (TPE) inevitably leads to absolute exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). No specific recommendations are available for enzyme replacement in such cases. The aim of our analysis was to explore the actual EPI replacement rates among patients following TPE after a certain period of time from the surgery.

Middle and distal bile duct carcinoma, retrospective analysis & short-term and long-term outcomes of surgical therapy.

Introduction: The prognosis of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is dismal and the only way to achieve long-term survival is surgical resection. While pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard procedure for distal cholangiocarcinoma (distal bile duct cancer; DBDC), bile duct segmental resection (BDR) can be used as an alternative approach for middle bile duct cholangiocarcinoma (middle bile duct cancer; MBDC). The aim of the study was to calculate the short-term and long-term outcomes of curative-intent surgery in distal bile duct cholangiocarcinoma patients.

Antibiotic therapy of postoperative bronchopneumonia in patients after lung resections - single-site experience.

Introduction: Infectious complications after lung surgery are the most important factor that affects mortality and morbidity, prolongs hospital stays and increases financial costs. According to various sources, 30-day mortality after lung resections reaches 123%. Infectious complications account for 2075% of overall mortality.

[Negative Pressure Wound Therapy as a Treatment Option for Extensive Post-Trauma Subcutaneous Emphysema].

Subcutaneous emphysema can be a secondary complication of chest trauma or one of the complications of ruptured bullae in advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Massive subcutaneous emphysema impairs the respiratory mechanics and affects the venous returns of the head and neck. It can lead to respiratory insufficiency with the need for mechanical ventilation.

[Evolution of Opinions on Chest Wall Stabilisation and Our Experience].

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Rib fractures represent one of the most common fractures sustained by 10-40% of all patients with blunt chest trauma, their incidence increases with age. In the current literature, however, new indication criteria continue to emerge. The purpose of this study is to assess the indication criteria, the timing of surgery and the use of individual plates in dependence on fracture location in our patients after the chest wall stabilisation in a retrospective analysis.

Gastropericardial fistula in a patient with upside-down stomach and stomach perforation: a case report.

Background: Gastropericardial fistula is a pathological communication between the stomach and the pericardium. This case report describes a gastropericardial fistula in a patient with upside-down stomach.

Case Presentation: The male patient (86) was examined for severe chest pain behind the sternum.

Successfull therapy of grade III leak after thoracic oesophagectomyusing endoscopic vacuum assisted closure therapy - a case study.

Introduction: Post-oesophagectomy leakage occurs in 1-30% of cases as a significant factor in postoperative morbidity and mortality, accounting for 40% of postoperative deaths. Endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVAC) is, besides stent therapy, clips and surgical therapy, a new endoscopic thera-peutic modality.

Case Report: A 72-year-old polymorbid female patient with Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus (T1b, N0, M0) was indicated for resection of the upper stomach and lower thoracic esophagus from laparotomy and thoracotomy with reconstruction using double-stapling anastomosis.

Indications and benefits of intraoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

Introduction: Intraoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy (IOG) is a diagnostic and therapeutic method for a variety of special conditions in upper gastrointestinal (UGI) pathology. The indication remains individual due to insufficient evidence and limited training of surgeons in digestive endoscopy.

Aim: To evaluate the indications, benefits and risks of IOG.

[Multiple organ resection for extensive lymphoma in the abdominal cavity].

Extranodal lymphomas are quite rare, and they usually present as non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The most common localization is the gastrointestinal tract, mainly the stomach - primary gastric lymphoma; histologically, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent type. The diagnosis is established based on endoscopic examination with biopsy of the tumor.
