The results of inspection and treatment 117 patients with an acute destructive pancreatitis from 1998 to 2010 are presented. Distinguishing features of management approach of the patients, which was hospitalized in clinic from 2005 to 2010, were high frequency of octreotide use, de-escalated orientation of antibacterial therapy, without early laparotomy interventions and expansion of indications to program sanitation by development of widespread forms of infected pancreatic necrosis. Achievements of intensive therapy of last years and change of surgical tactics have allowed to reduce postoperative mortality by sterile necrosis from 21.1 to 11.8%, to reduce frequency of infected pancreatic necrosis from 68.3 to 40.4%. Development of the infected pancreatic necrosis accompanied by statistically significant growth of frequency of local purulent complications and the tendency to increase--extended.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by a prolonged autoimmune attack resulting in the massive loss of insulin-producing beta cells. The initiation and progression of T1D depends on a complex interaction between genetic, immunological and environmental factors. Epidemiological, experimental and clinical evidence suggest a link between viral infections, particularly Coxsackievirus type B (CVB), and T1D development.

Background: The intraoperative administration of corticosteroids has been shown to improve postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing surgery; however, the impact of corticosteroids on complications following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) remains controversial.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative corticosteroids on postoperative complications after PD.
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases for studies published prior to 1 July 2024.

Background: Robotic surgery may have shown advantages over conventional laparoscopic surgery, but the da Vinci SP system, which utilizes a single incision, has had limited use in gastric cancer surgery. This study aims to evaluate the short-term outcomes of a novel hybrid technique, minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgery (MILAR), with the da Vinci SP system for gastric cancer.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 23 consecutive patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer using the MILAR technique with the da Vinci SP system between May and October 2024.

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.
