[Pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma complicated by intestinal bleeding].

Mucinous cystadenoma is a cystic tumor of the pancreas absolutely requiring surgical intervention. The authors report successful surgical treatment of a patient with mucinous pancreatic cystadenoma complicated by severe intestinal bleeding.

[Extended total pancreatectomy for complicated retroperitoneal sarcoma].

Need for pancreatoduodenectomy or total pancreatectomy for retroperitoneal sarcoma is rare. In most cases, these procedures are determined by locally advanced neoplasm. The author report successful multivisceral resection in a patient with retroperitoneal sarcoma complicated by internal fistulae with duodenum and colon.

[Scoring systems to predict pancreatic fistula after Whipple procedure].

Specific complications is an «Achilles heel» of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most common specific complication. POPF prediction is an actual problem in pancreatic surgery.

Resectable periampullary tumor in patients with previous pancreatitis. What type of surgical procedure to choose?

Objective: To evaluate the early outcomes of radical surgical treatment of patients with resectable periampullary tumors and previous acute pancreatitis (AP).

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis included 9 patients. AP was diagnosed in all patients at different times of preoperative period (post-manipulative AP in 7 cases, alcoholic AP in 2 cases).

Prognosis of sporadic resected small (≤2 cm) nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors - a multi-institutional study.

Background: Malignant potential of small (≤20 mm) nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (sNF-PNET) is difficult to predict and management remain controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the prognosis of sporadic nonmetastatic sNF-PNETs.

Methods: Patients were identified from databases of 16 centers.

[Accelerated postoperative rehabilitation in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy].

Aim: To assess safety and clinical-economic effectiveness of complex postoperative rehabilitation after pancreatoduodenectomy.

Material And Methods: 73 patients were included in the study. Main group consisted of 39 patients who underwent accelerated postoperative rehabilitation that was developed in our clinic.

[Radical oncological stomach, liver and pancreatic surgery in patients over 80 years old].

Aim: To analyze the results of radical surgery for upper GI cancer in patients ≥80 years old.

Material And Methods: For the period November 2010 - June 2015 there were 14 radical operations in elderly (≥80 years) patients with gastric, liver and pancreatic tumors. There were 4 Whipple procedures, 4 total and 2 distal gastrectomies, 1 total pancreatectomy as well as a central liver resection, one laparoscopic 5 segment resection and one 2, 3, 7 segment resection.

Surveillance strategy for small asymptomatic non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNET) are rare neoplasms being increasingly diagnosed. Surgical treatment or expectant management are both suggested for small NF-PNETs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of surveillance strategy for small NF-PNETs.

[Radical surgical treatment of elderly patients with gastric cancer].

To analyze the early results of radical surgery for gastric cancer in patients > 75 years. In the period between Jan. 2013 and June 2015 there were 25 radical operations in elderly (≥ 75 years) patients with gastric cancer.

[Experience of two-staged liver resection (ALPPS)].

The aim was to estimate single center results of ALPPS. It was performed 5 ALPPS-procedures in our center during the period from February 2013 to March 2014. There were 1 female and 4 males in the age of 58-64 years.

[The concept of early ("fast track") rehabilitation in abdominal surgery].

The data of evidence-based medicine are used to illustrate the role of a multimodal analgesia and early enteral feeding in combined rehabilitation of the patients operated on abdominal organs.

Change in the functional properties of actin by its glycation in vitro.

The influence of glycation (non-enzymatic glycosylation) on structural and functional properties of actin of rabbit skeletal muscle and the effects of the natural anti-glycating dipeptide carnosine were studied. Glucose (0.5 M), fructose (0.

[Immunoglobulin content in persons with a varying donor record].

The blood level of IgA, IgG Igm, and protein in male donors was studied in connection with the duration of the donor's activity. The content of the main blood immunoglobulin classes and proteins depended significantly on the duration of the donor's activity. Therefore it is not recommended to use donors as control group in determining the immunoglobulin level in the blood.
