Background: Pancreatic anastomotic leaks are a major cause of morbidity and mortality following pancreaticoduodenectomy, and no single technique of reconstruction has shown to be superior. The aim of this study was to review the experience of single loop versus isolated Roux loop pancreaticojejunostomy in a series of patients undergoing pancreatic head resection.
Methods: A retrospective review involving 111 patients who underwent pancreatic head resections over 13year period (1994-2006) for malignant (n=106) and benign (n=5) disease was performed.
Background: The mechanism and extent of major bile duct injuries following laparoscopic cholecystectomy differ from those of open cholecystectomy.
Methods: To identify differences in the demographic profile, timing of injury detection, management strategies and outcome, we undertook a retrospective review and analysis of our experience with 55 major bile duct injuries following both laparoscopic and open cholecystectomies over a period of 9 years.
Results: Thirty-one major bile duct injuries resulted from laparoscopic cholecystectomy (56%) and 24 of them were sustained after open cholecystectomy (44%).
Background: Gall bladder perforation is a serious complication of acute cholecystitis. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the presenting symptoms, diagnosis and management of patients with gall bladder perforations.
Methods: A retrospective study was undertaken of 31 consecutive patients with gall bladder perforation in a single unit of a tertiary referral hospital, between January 1996 and December 2001.
Objectives: Phaeochromocytoma is a rare tumour, which is benign but metabolically functional, with a potential for malignancy. Surgical resection is the primary treatment. The purpose of this study was to identify the presenting features, diagnostic tests and appropriate surgical approaches for phaeochromocytoma.
