Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the preferred modality for the treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). A variety of anatomic factors must be considered when planning EVAR, including the relationship of the visceral arteries to the aneurysmal segment of the aorta. This report describes 2 patients with infrarenal AAA in whom the superior mesenteric artery was the most caudal visceral vessel, originating inferior to the renal arteries.

Background: Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SpVT) occurs in 17%-23 % of acute pancreatitis cases. Serious sequelae include hepatic and bowel ischaemia. However, management with therapeutic anticoagulation remains controversial due to potential bleeding risk.

Background: Lymph node dissection is required for many pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms. However, the need for such dissection has rarely been examined in detail by the tumor size, tumor location, or World Health Organization grading. The objective is to determine which characteristics of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms require lymph node dissection, and to what extent lymph node dissection should be performed.

In hepatic flexure and transverse colon cancer surgeries, mobilizing the right mesocolon and precisely dissecting the gastrocolic trunk of Henle (GTH) are crucial. Previous classifications of GTH tributaries do not guide radical right hemicolectomy due to post-procedural anatomical acquisition. This study analyzed vessel associations, including the middle colic vein (MCV) converging site, right colic artery (RCA) presence, and other GTH tributaries, using ultra-thin CT for reconstruction.

Major vessel invasion, particularly involving the portal and superior mesenteric veins, poses significant challenges during the radical resection of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers. Oncovascular surgery is essential for curative outcomes, and often requires portomesenteric vein reconstruction. Techniques, such as lateral venorrhaphy, patch repair, end-to-end anastomosis, and interposition grafting, have been employed.

Background: Intestinal ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury (II/RI) is a critical condition that results in oxidative stress, inflammation, and damage to multiple organs. Zinc, an essential trace element, offers protective benefits in several tissues during I/R injury, but its effects on intestinal II/RI remain unclear.
Aim: To investigate the effects of zinc pretreatment on II/RI and associated multiorgan damage.
