Graft pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease leading to autodigestion of the gland. The failure of the pancreatic graft can be attributed to immunological or nonimmunological causes. It consists of a premature activation of pancreatic proenzymes. When complications such as bleeding or leaks have already occurred, surgical correction should be considered. The aim of this review is to draw the attention of surgeons to the complications that can easily be avoided.

Navigating complex arterial reconstruction in living donor liver transplantation: the role of the splenic artery as a viable conduit.

Background: In living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), maintaining hepatic arterial flow is critical for graft survival. Alternative methods are required when the recipient's hepatic artery is unsuitable due to extensive dissection or inadequate flow. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of splenic artery transposition (SAT) for hepatic arterial reconstruction in LDLT.

Article Synopsis
- Inverted kidney transplantation (KT) is a technique that has been implemented in various centers, but there has previously been limited data on its outcomes.
- A study involving 74 patients at Viet Duc University Hospital revealed that most transplants were ipsilateral, with only a few performed in special cases, and found the operation time was longer but kidney function remained stable post-surgery.
- The technique showed a high 3-year graft survival rate of 98.3%, with complications comparable to traditional KT, indicating it is a safe option under specific conditions.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the potential of three biomarkers (REG3α, sST2, and TNFR1) in blood as predictors for the severity and outcome of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in children post-transplant.
- Data from 70 aGVHD patients and 30 healthy children were analyzed, revealing higher levels of these biomarkers in more severe cases of aGVHD and in those with poor treatment outcomes.
- The combined analysis of all three markers showed enhanced predictive accuracy for aGVHD prognosis, outperforming the use of each marker individually or in pairs.
Assessing Long-Term Adverse Outcomes in Older Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Propensity Score-Matched Comparison of Early Steroid Withdrawal Versus Continuous Steroid Immunosuppression Using a Large Real-World Database.

Division of Multiorgan Transplant and Hepatobiliary Surgery, Department of Surgery, The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Steroids are commonly used for immunosuppression in kidney transplant patients, but older individuals may not need them as much due to a decrease in their immune system response, leading to potential long-term side effects.
- This study aimed to analyze the adverse effects associated with long-term steroid use in older kidney transplant recipients by utilizing real-world data from the TriNetX database over a 10-year period.
- Results showed a comparison between two groups: those who underwent early-steroid withdrawal and those on continuous steroid therapy, with findings focused on various health complications like diabetes, heart issues, and cancers.
