Indocyanine green fluorescence in the evaluation of post-resection pancreatic remnant perfusion after a pancreaticoduodenectomy: a clinical study protocol.

Background: Pancreaticoduodenectomy is associated with an incidence of postoperative complications of approximately 41%. One of the most severe complications is a postoperative pancreatic fistula. The exact cause of postoperative fistula development is still unknown, but it appears to be multifactorial.

Robotic-assisted resection of deep pelvic schwannoma.

Introduction: Schwannomas are a group of well differentiated benign tumors originating from the Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system. Their localization in the pelvis is very rare. Schwannomas with expansive growth can cause wide neurologic symptoms or oppression of pelvic organs.

Vascular supply of postresection pancreatic remnant after pancreaticoduodenectomy: A cadaveric study.

Objectives: The vascular supply to the neck and body of the pancreas is highly variable. The dorsal pancreatic artery is the dominant artery feeding this area. The aim of this study was to describe the vascular supply of postresection pancreatic remnants after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

A comparison of surgical approaches in the treatment of grade C postoperative pancreatic fistula: A retrospective study.

Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula is one of the most dreaded complications following pancreatic resections with Grade C the most severe. Several possible types of surgical intervention are available but to date, none of them have clearly shown superiority. This study aims to compare different surgical approaches.
