Objective: To analyze the early results of pancreatoduodenectomies with different methods of pancreatic isthmus transection.
Material And Methods: There were 82 pancreatoduodenectomies for cancer of pancreatic head or major duodenal papilla for the period 2010-2019. The control group comprised 38 patients with pancreatic isthmus transection and no preliminary suturing of local vessels. The study group consisted of 44 patients who underwent preliminary intersection of pancreatic isthmus vessels. Inclusion/exclusion criteria were used for grouping. We evaluated total intraoperative blood loss and blood loss following pancreatic isthmus transection, incidence and structure of postoperative complications.
Results: Total intraoperative blood loss was 755.12±108.61 vs. 698.45±92.87 ml, respectively (>0.05). Intraoperative blood loss following pancreatic isthmus transection was 48.21±9.11 vs. 7.83±1.72 ml, respectively (<0.01). Incidence of postoperative complications and redo surgeries was similar. Postoperative bleeding occurred in 5 (13.15%) patients of the 1 group (class A - 2.63%; B - 5.26%; C - 5.26%) and 2 (4.54%) patients of the 2 group (A - 4.54%; B and C - 0%). There were no significant differences in the incidence of other complications and postoperative mortality.
Conclusion: Pre-stitching of arterial vessels of the pancreatic isthmus reduces blood loss following intersection (<0.01), as well as the incidence of postoperative bleeding class B and C (<0.05).

Introduction And Importance: The aim of this retrospective study was to present six cases of trauma to the distal pancreas, highlighting the challenges associated with their diagnosis and management, while underlining their seriousness and the various complications potentially encountered. Our case series highlights individual patient outcomes, demonstrating the diversity of clinical presentations and the importance of customized treatment strategies.
Case Series: Between January 2015 and December 2020, six cases of distal pancreas trauma were identified.

Situs inversus is a condition in which abdominal and thoracic organs are laterally transposed. The organs which are supposed to be on the right side of the abdomen are on the left and vice versa. It is a rare congenital condition; however, the exact incidence is difficult to determine as most of the cases go unnoticed until they undergo an imaging study.

Article Synopsis
- Hydatid disease is a zoonotic infection primarily caused by a tapeworm, affecting mainly the liver and lungs, but rarely the pancreas, which complicates diagnosis and treatment.
- Recent research highlights that pancreatic hydatid cysts are more common in females, with abdominal pain being the main symptom; the cysts are most often found in the pancreatic tail.
- The study emphasizes the need for skilled surgical intervention due to the complexity of pancreatic surgeries, noting that radical surgery is preferred, yet less invasive procedures may lead to higher complication rates; a thorough literature review identified 33 relevant studies from the last decade.

Article Synopsis
- Current IPMN risk stratification methods are inaccurate due to reliance on clinical and histological factors without effective molecular markers, leading to suboptimal treatment options.
- This study identifies specific molecular markers for different IPMN subtypes using Spatial Transcriptomics technologies, confirming markers like HOXB3 and ZNF117 for Low-Grade Dysplasia and NKX6-2 for High-Grade Dysplasia in Gastric IPMN.
- The findings enhance our understanding of gene expression and transcriptional networks in IPMN progression, which could improve patient outcomes for those at risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Congenital hyperinsulinism is the most common cause of recurrent hypoglycemia in newborns and children. Early diagnosis and rapid management are essential to avoid hypoglycaemic brain injury and later neurological complications. Management of those patients involves biological evaluation, molecular genetics, imaging techniques and surgical advances.
