A deviant anterior portal vein in the hepatoduodenal ligament with aberrant origin of hepatic arteries directly from the celiac trunk: A case report of two patients underwent pylorus preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (PPPD).

Introduction: The portal vein (PV) originates behind the neck of the pancreas, where it is formed classically by the union of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and the splenic vein (SV) [1]. It courses upwards towards the liver in the free margin of the lesser omentum, the hepatoduodenal ligament, along with other structures of the portal triad, i.e.

Outcomes in High Perianal Fistula Repair Using Video-Assisted Anal Fistula Treatment Compared With Seton Use: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background Anal fistula, or fistula-in-ano, is a chronic abnormal communication between the epithelialized surface of the anal canal and the perianal skin. Video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT) is a novel, minimally invasive, and sphincter-saving alternative to traditional seton use. This study aimed to determine the short-term and long-term outcomes of VAAFT compared with seton treatment.

Role of Laparoscopy in Diagnosing and Treating Acute Nonspecific Abdominal Pain.

Background Nonspecific abdominal pain (NSAP) is a pain for which no immediate cause is evident on acute admission and does not necessitate emergency surgical intervention. NSAP is a frequent reason for presentation in the emergency department (ED). Laparoscopy is a well-established technique that allows a surgeon to visualize the abdominal cavity after insufflation through a few small incision ports.
