Pancreatic duct stones treated by Whipple as a last resort: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Chronic Pancreatitis is an irreversible inflammation of the pancreas that can lead to fibrosis and scar formation. Pseudocysts are a late complication of chronic pancreatitis and abdominal pain is the most common presenting complaint.

Case Presentation: A 48-year-old male who is a known case of chronic pancreatitis presented to our department complaining of abdominal pain for a duration of three weeks.

The Association between Preoperative Vitamin D Levels and Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Colorectal Liver Metastasis Surgery.

(1) Background: Over the past several years, there has been a renewed interest with regard to the effect of pre-operative vitamin D levels on post-surgical outcomes. Pre-operative vitamin D deficiency has been associated with many negative post-operative outcomes. However, the role of vitamin D in postoperative outcomes in colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) resection is relatively uninvestigated.

Inferior mesenteric arteriovenous malformation extending to splenic flexure colonic wall presenting with massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding, a case report.

Introduction And Importance: An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the inferior mesenteric artery is a rare vascular pathology that accounts for 6 % of the causes of gastrointestinal bleeding. AVMs are typically classified as congenital persisting embryonic vasculature that link both systems and do not develop into arteries or veins [3], but they may also develop later in life. The majority of documented cases are iatrogenic after colon surgery.

Pancreatic duplication cyst misdiagnosed as distal pancreatic tumor: A case report and surgical approach.

Enteric duplication cysts (EDCs) are a benign and uncommon congenital malformation, with a nonspecific and extremely variable clinical presentation. EDCs associated with the pancreas are called pancreatic duplication cysts (PDCs). They are especially rare and can present with recurrent abdominal pain or even severe pancreatitis.

Resection of Primary Renal Leiomyosarcoma Involving the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) with IVC Resection and Reconstruction.

Renal leiomyosarcoma is a rare, aggressive tumor of the smooth muscles of the kidney. In our case, the tumor has special characteristics that made it highly challenging, as it involved major vessels and other adjacent vital structures. The rarity of the tumor type itself and the special challenging features we faced intraoperatively encouraged us to report the case including the management plan for R0 resection.
