Background: In Appleby's operation, the adequate flow of proper hepatic artery (PHA) from pancreaticoduodenal arcades was considered to be important in the previous reported pancreatic cancer cases. Insufficient blood flow of PHA was considered as the contraindication for Appleby's operation.
Methods: We herein reported a 20 cm in diameter pancreatic sarcomatoid carcinoma involving celiac axis (CA), which was treated by extended Appleby's operation without proper hepatic arterial flow. The extended Appleby's operation for pancreatic cancer involving CA and/or common hepatic artery (CHA) was firstly applied to the current case according to the 43 previous reported cases in English literature from a Medline search. In the extended Appleby's operation, the resection scope included total pancreas, total stomach, spleen, and CA; the anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arcades were removed in whipple's procedure, which was previously thought to be the contraindication for Applyby's operation.
Results: Proper hepatic arterial flow from superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was totally lost; No liver failure happened postoperatively.
Conclusions: The extended Appleby's procedure without blood flow of PHA might be feasible and offered a new approach to resection of pancreatic cancer involving CA and/or CHA; the involvement of pancreatic head might not be the contraindication for Appleby's operation.

A young, intact, female, American Bulldog was presented for hemorrhagic vaginal discharge. Anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis with neutrophilia, azotemia, and electrolyte disturbances were detected in the bloodwork. A urachal diverticulum with concurrent uterine distention was identified by ultrasonography and CT.

Background: Laparoscopic radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy combined with celiac axis resection and portal vein reconstruction is a new procedure for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. This surgical technique may offer patients with pancreatic cancer involving the portal vein and celiac axis an opportunity for radical surgical resection. We aim to evaluate the short- and long-term efficacy and describe the surgical details of this technique.

Background: With the advent of effective chemotherapy, conversion surgery (CS) has been performed in patients who have responded to pretreatment, even for pancreatic cancer diagnosed as unresectable (UR) at the time of initial diagnosis. In CS, major arterial resection and reconstruction are necessary for complete radical resection.
Methods: We discuss the key points for safely performing pancreatectomy with celiac axis (CA) resection combined with reconstruction, divided into resection and arterial reconstruction.

Background: Surgery has recently been introduced into the multimodal management of patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinomas (LAPCs) thanks to the major pathological response seen with the advent of the multiagent regimen FOLFIRINOX. Distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) may be complicated by ischemic liver and gastric events. Common hepatic artery reconstruction may prevent the occurrence of ischemic complications and can be an alternative to preoperative embolization of the celiac trunk.
