Neuroendocrine tumors are the rare pathology. They are characterized by slow growth and favorable prognosis for life. From 1985 to 2000 fifty-two patients with "silent" neuroendocrine tumors were treated.

[Pancreatoduodenal resection with preservation of the pylorus].

Experience with 106 pancreatoduodenal resections (PDR) with pylorus savage for tumors and benign diseases of pancreatic head and periampullar zone is analyzed. Features of mobilization of pancreatoduodenal complex in PDR are shown. They permit to reduce the rate of complications (gastrostasis).

[Virtual surgeries based on spiral computed tomography].

Experience of spiral computed tomography with bolus contrast enhancement and subsequent 3D-reconstruction of picture for virtual modeling of surgeries is presented. The method was used in 204 patients with tumors and diseases of the liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, adrenal glands, parapapillary diverticula of the duodenum, coarctations and aneurysms of aorta, extraorganic tumors of the retroperitoneal cavity and neck.
