A case is presented of pancreatic tail carcinoma metastasizing to the uterus, right ovary and right sacrouterine ligament 2.5 years after the primary tumor had been detected and treated. During explorative laparotomy, performed after 3D color Doppler ultrasonographic visualization of a suspected finding in the right adnexal region, metastatic deposits in the uterus, right ovary, right sacrouterine ligament and right ureter originating from the primary adenocarcinoma of the tail of the pancreas were detected and surgically removed.

Background: Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is a safe and effective surgical method for treating benign and malignant tumors of the pancreatic body and tail. However, laparoscopic surgery requires good intraoperative exposure, and since the pancreas is obstructed by the stomach and duodenum, making surgical operations and the management of intraoperative emergencies challenging. Therefore, gastric traction is crucial in laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.

Background: Pancreatic enucleation is indicated for selected patients and tumours with very low oncological risk to preserve a maximum of healthy pancreatic parenchyma. Minimally invasive pancreatic enucleation (MIPE) is increasingly performed. This study aims to assess the impact of tumor location and center experience on textbook outcomes (TBO) in patients undergoing MIPE.

Introduction: EUS-guided fine-needle organoid creation (EUS-FNO) from pancreatic cancer (PC) has been increasingly important for precision medicine. The cost for pancreatic organoid creation is substantial and close to 2000 USD/specimen in our institution, and the specimen has to be processed immediately after tissue acquisition so the more passes and specimens, the higher cost of organoid creation will incur. To date, no prospective comparison trial has answered how many needle passes of EUS-FNO needed for a successful organoid creation.

The case pertains to a 29-year-old male who presented with epigastric pain at the hospital. On evaluation, he was sonographically detected to have "comet tail" reverberation artifacts involving the echogenic floaters in the lumen of the urinary bladder. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with Type V hyperlipidemia and acute pancreatitis.

Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) of the body/tail is notably different than PDAC in the head of the pancreas. Surgery plus chemotherapy is known to improve outcomes for all PDAC. The sequence of this therapy is well studied in head cancers yet has never been evaluated systematically in relation to distal pancreatectomy (DP).
