Long-Term Functional Outcome After Pancreatoduodenectomy for Periampullary Carcinoma With Morphological Correlation.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term functional outcome (exocrine and endocrine) and morphological changes in remnant pancreas after pancreatoduodenectomy and its clinical impact.

Methods: Periampullary carcinoma patients with minimum follow-up of 2 years and without recurrence were included (N = 102). Exocrine insufficiency includes clinical steatorrhea and fecal elastase-1 (FE-1) levels; endocrine insufficiency, glucose levels and glycated hemoglobin; and morphological changes, main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter and thickness of remnant pancreas.

Mind the gap: imaging spectrum of abdominal ventral hernia repair complications.

Ventral hernia repair with or without mesh placement is a commonly done procedure. Laparoscopic approach is more preferred than open in recent surgical practice. Complications occur as like any other abdominal surgeries and are dependent on multiple factors.

Papillary Adenocarcinoma in a Gastric Duplication Cyst.

Gastric duplication cysts are rare and mostly present in the first year of life. In adulthood presentation is in the form of obstruction, ulceration, bleeding, fistulization etc. Malignancy is extremely rare with only 12 cases reported to date.
