Article Synopsis
- The REDISCOVER consensus conference focused on creating guidelines for the perioperative care of patients with borderline-resectable and locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
- Using a structured methodology and expert consensus, the conference developed 34 recommendations on various aspects of surgical care, patient selection, and management of pancreatic cancer.
- Despite the low evidence quality for most recommendations, participants highlighted the importance of establishing an international registry to enhance understanding and care for this patient group.
Introduction: Ciliated hepatic foregut cyst (CHFC) is a rare cystic lesion that arises from the embryonic foregut with approximately 100 cases reported. Most commonly identified in segment IV of the liver, CHFC is typically asymptomatic and incidentally found on abdominal imaging. It is important to consider this entity in the differential diagnosis of atypical liver lesions since CHFC carries a risk of transformation into squamous cell carcinoma.

- * Both simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK) and pancreas transplant alone enhance long-term survival and significantly improve recipients' quality of life, outweighing potential downsides.
- * SPK performed before dialysis offers better outcomes than after dialysis, which adversely affects survival rates, suggesting that kidney grafts should be preferentially allocated to SPK candidates.
Meckel's diverticulum is the commonest congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract. Most cases are asymptomatic and only incidentally found. Its perforation by a foreign body is an extremely rare event.

Introduction: Autoimmune pancreatitis is a rare entity of unknown etiology that can mimic pancreatic cancer and whose diagnosis involves clinical, serological, imagiological, and histological findings. There are two types of autoimmune pancreatitis: type 1, in which the pancreas is involved as one part of a systemic immunoglobulin G4-related disease, and type 2, generally without immunoglobulin G4-positive cells and without systemic involvement.
Case: We report the case of a 45-year-old female, who underwent an abdominal magnetic resonance imaging for etiological study of a solid liver lesion, which revealed a tail pancreatic mass.
Foramen of Winslow hernias account for 8% of all internal hernias. Their non-specific presentation and often late diagnosis are associated with an estimated mortality of 50%. The use of complementary diagnostic methods facilitates the diagnosis and planning of the therapeutic strategy.

We analyzed outcomes in type 1 diabetic patients undergoing SPKT, comparing peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) groups: 119 had been on HD; 39 on PD. They were comparable except regarding dialysis time, higher in HD patients (30 ± 23 vs.

Presentation Of Case: A 79-year-old female was admitted to Emergency Department with abdominal pain and vomiting for the last 24h.
