Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic surgery for complex tumors, especially those that invade blood vessels, is risky and often leads to complications; this study explores a new method called EUS-sugar-RFA aimed at improving surgical outcomes.
- The experiment involved using augmented endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation on pig models, examining its effects on the pancreas adjacent to key blood vessels, with comparisons to control groups receiving different treatments.
- Results showed that the EUS-sugar-RFA technique was safe, with no complications during or after surgery, and preserved vascular integrity while creating a controllable area of necrosis, suggesting it could enhance the feasibility of surgery for difficult pancreatic cancers.
Aims: Training programs are essential to introduce new methods for bile duct clearance. Visual examination via cholangioscopy is ideal to diagnose and treat biliary tract diseases such as cancer and choledocholithiasis. However, surgeons rarely use cholangioscopes.
