Our contrivances to diminish complications after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy.

The objective of this study is to diminish postoperative complications after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy is still associated with major complications, especially leakage at pancreatojejunostomy and delayed gastric emptying. Traditional pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in group A, while the novel procedure, an antecolic vertical duodenojejunostomy and internal pancreatic drainage with omental wrapping, was performed in group B (n = 40 each).

[An inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver mimicking a metastatic lesion of gallbladder cancer - a case report].

An inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) of the liver is a rare benign disorder.As its characteristics based on computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings are still unclear, it is difficult to distinguish IPT from malignant diseases of the liver.Herein, we report a case of IPT of the liver concurrent with advanced gallbladder cancer, which we could not diagnose preoperatively.
