Purpose: Delayed post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is still one of the most dreaded complications after pancreatic surgery. Its management is now focused on percutaneous endovascular treatments (PETs).
Methods: Between 2013 and 2019, 307 patients underwent pancreatic resection.
Purpose: We evaluated the intuition of expert pancreatic surgeons, in predicting the associated risk of pancreatic resection and compared this "intuition" to actual operative follow-up. The objective was to avoid major complications following pancreatic resection, which remains a challenge.
Methods: From January 2015 to February 2018, all patients who were 18 years old or more undergoing a pancreatic resection (pancreaticoduodenectomy [PD], distal pancreatectomy [DP], or central pancreatectomy [CP]) for pancreatic lesions were included.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated a new compression device called "Anastocom" against the standard stapling method for colocolonic anastomosis in pigs, focusing on feasibility and outcomes.
- The results showed that the anastomotic rings were expelled within 7 to 13 days post-surgery, with all surgeries resulting in clean and intact anastomoses.
- There was no significant difference in bursting pressures between the two methods, indicating that Anastocom may prevent nonexpulsion better than previous compression techniques while not causing bowel obstruction.
Introduction: Trauma is a major cause of death worldwide, mainly affecting a young male population. Blunt trauma of the abdomen can cause a trauma of the mesentery in 5 % of cases. Rapid decelerations and injuries by seat belts are the most common pathophysiological mechanisms.

- Precise understanding of colonic anatomy variability is crucial for creating personalized gastrointestinal models for surgical simulations and trauma studies.
- Researchers analyzed the colonic layout by examining 100 healthy adults, measuring key reference points to assess differences by gender, age, and body type.
- The study found that the right colonic flexure was the most variable, with different factors influencing the colon's structure, leading to three-dimensional models tailored for individual differences based on demographics.
Background: Mechanisms of hepatic injury remain poorly understood. Surgical literature reports some speculative theories that have never been proved. The aim of this study was to examine the behavior of the liver during brutal frontal deceleration.

The finite element modeling, which makes it possible to simulate a road accident and to observe the possible bone fractures or internal tissue injuries, allows large projections in the comprehension of injury mechanisms. However, the digital models already available and used in accidentology do not offer as one very simplified description of the diaphragm, as well for its geometry as for its bracing aspect and the modifications that this could induce in the behavior of abdominal organs and vessels at impact.
