Should the papilla Vateri be explored during surgery for gallstones of the main biliary tract? A group of 672 choledochotomies were analyzed retrospectively; out of precautions we approached the papilla Vateri in 75% of these cases. This group was compared to a prospective study of 200 consecutive choledochotomies of which 21% required dilatation or sphinectotomy of the papilla Vateri. The number of remaining gallstones was approximately the same in both groups. There were 5 deaths due to postoperative acute pancreatitis in the first series and none in the second. Dilatation of the papilla or sphincterotomy should no longer be performed, routinely in surgery of the biliary tract.

Background: Clinically relevant acute postoperative pancreatitis (CR-PPAP) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complication that may lead to the development of local and systemic consequences. The study aimed to identify risk factors for CR-PPAP and assess the impact of CR-PPAP on the postoperative course after PD.
Methods: The study retrospectively analyzed data from 428 consecutive patients who underwent PD at a single center between January 2013 and December 2022.

Medullary carcinomas have not yet been fully characterized in the ampulla. Here, 359 ampullary carcinomas (ACs) were reviewed and 11 medullary-type carcinomas (3%) were found and analyzed. In addition to the diagnostic medullary pattern, 6 showed focal mucinous and 8 had focal abortive gland-like formations.

DOG1 (Discovered on GIST1) is a voltage-gated calcium-activated chloride and bicarbonate channel that is highly expressed in interstitial cells of Cajal and in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) derived from Cajal cells. To systematically determine in what tumor entities and normal tissue types DOG1 may be further expressed, a tissue microarray (TMA) containing 15,965 samples from 121 different tumor types and subtypes as well as 608 samples of 76 different normal tissue types was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. DOG1 immunostaining was found in 67 tumor types including GIST (95.
