Article Abstract
A case of a dissecting aneurysm of the splenic artery is presented. Although aneurysms of the splenic artery are common, a dissecting aneurysm has been mentioned infrequently in the available literature. Clinical aspects, confirmation of the diagnosis by celiac arteriography and surgical therapy are described. The pathogenesis is discussed briefly. The necessity of clinical awareness in cases of obscure abdominal pain is emphasized.

SPEED (SPlEnic Embolisation Decisions) study-Decision to treat acute traumatic splenic artery injury in the context of trauma protocol.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, Plymouth, United Kingdom.
Background: The spleen is commonly injured in trauma and this may be managed with a conservative approach, embolisation or splenectomy. There is uncertainty how splenic embolisation fits into the treatment paradigm and the delivery of IR services remains variable.
Aims And Objectives: The primary objectives are to determine if service design significantly affects splenic embolisation (SE) rates in AAST grade 2-5 acute traumatic splenic injuries (ATSI) across the Major Trauma Centres (MTCs) in England and to determine if variation in treatment affects SE outcomes in ATSI.

Robot-assisted pancreaticobiliary junction resection is a surgical technique employed to treat benign duodenal tumors. The procedure involves several key steps: making a longitudinal incision in the duodenum, excising the tumor at the pancreaticobiliary junction, inserting a biliary stent, connecting the biliary and duodenal mucosa, and suturing the duodenal incision during phase I. The robotic system enhances visibility, facilitates precise operations, minimizes duodenal traction injuries to the duodenum and surgical trauma, ensures accurate suture and fixation of bile duct stents, connects the bile duct and duodenal mucosa and reduces postoperative recovery time.

Department of Gastroenterology, Scripps Mercy Hospital, San Diego, USA.
Hemosuccus pancreaticus (HP) is a rare, life-threatening cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, often linked to chronic pancreatitis and pseudoaneurysm rupture into the pancreatic duct. However, its occurrence in acute necrotizing pancreatitis with decompensated cirrhosis is exceedingly rare and poses significant diagnostic and treatment challenges. We report a case of a 34-year-old male with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis who developed hemorrhagic shock from HP following acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

BMC Surg
January 2025
Liver Transplant Unit, Gastrointestinal Surgical Center (GISC), Surgery Department, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Dakahleyya, Egypt.
Background: In living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), maintaining hepatic arterial flow is critical for graft survival. Alternative methods are required when the recipient's hepatic artery is unsuitable due to extensive dissection or inadequate flow. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of splenic artery transposition (SAT) for hepatic arterial reconstruction in LDLT.
