(1) Background: The modified Whipple procedure, or pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a complex surgical intervention used to treat pancreatic head tumors. While preserving digestive function, it is associated with significant perioperative risks. This study explores the clinical, immunological, and microbiome-related factors influencing postoperative complications, focusing on the interplay between patient comorbidities, systemic inflammation, and gut dysbiosis.

Advances in gastric cancer screening have enabled earlier detection, shifting the focus of treatment toward preserving patients' quality of life (QoL). Function-preserving gastrectomy (FPG), including pylorus-preserving gastrectomy, proximal gastrectomy, and sentinel node navigation surgery, represents a paradigm shift in the surgical management of early gastric cancer. These techniques aim to balance oncological safety with the preservation of gastric function, mitigating postgastrectomy syndromes such as dumping syndrome, bile reflux, and nutritional deficiencies.

Introduction: Pancreatic neoplasms are rare among children and very few studies have reported on surgical outcomes for pediatric pancreatic neoplasms. Therefore, we aimed to describe patient and tumor characteristics and report on the surgical outcomes of pediatric pancreatic neoplasm.
Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, we reviewed and analyzed the data of patients who underwent surgery for pediatric pancreatic neoplasms at Severance Children's Hospital between January 2007 and December 2022.

Despite technical advances in recent decades and a decrease in hospital mortality (<5%), pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is still associated with major postoperative complications, even in high-volume centers. The present study aimed to assess the effect of a modified reconstruction technique on postoperative morbidity and mortality. A cohort study of all patients (n=218) undergoing PD between January 2010 and December 2019 was performed at Attikon University Hospital (Athens, Greece).
