AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A case of traumatic pancreatitis with a radiopaque calculus producing pain by obstructing the distal pancreatic duct is presented. Preoperative ductal anatomy was defined by a percutaneous pancreatogram that established the presence of mechanical duct obstruction as the cause of pain, and the potential for operative relief of duct obstruction. A remission from pain resulted from pancreatic duct decompression by a lateral pancreaticojejunostomy. The potential value of percutaneous pancreatography is discussed.

Pancreas divisum (PD) represents a prevalent congenital pancreatic variant, typically arising from the failure of fusion between the ventral and dorsal pancreatic ducts. This condition is frequently associated with recurrent pancreatitis. We herein present a case involving an incomplete PD diagnosis following the identification of a refractory postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (DP) for pancreatic cancer.

Background: A biloma refers to an abnormal, well-defined accumulation of bile outside the biliary tree within the abdomen, which can be either intra- or extra-hepatic in nature. It can result from traumatic or iatrogenic causes, leading to a disruption in the biliary system. Without prompt diagnosis and appropriate management, it can result in significant morbidity and mortality.

Current non-invasive diagnostic modalities of iatrogenic bile leak (BL) are not particularly sensitive and often fail to localise the BL origin. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are considered the gold standard, yet are invasive studies with potential complications. Ce-MRCP has been not comprehensively studied in this setting but may prove particularly helpful given its non-invasive nature and the anatomical dynamic detail.

Objective: Despite international guidelines recommendations to use mortality as a quality criterion for gastrointestinal (GI) procedures, recent studies reporting these data are lacking. Our objective was to report death causes and rate following GI endoscopies in a tertiary university hospital.
Design: We retrospectively reviewed all GI procedures made between January 2017 and December 2019 in our tertiary hospital in Switzerland.
