The most frequent and severe complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy is pancreatic fistula due to dehiscence of the pancreas anastomosis. The technique that uses a separate Roux en Y loop for pancreas anastomosis, to reduce the fatal risks of pancreatic fistula, has been described for more than 50 years. With the development of pancreaticogastrostomy, it seems interesting to present a procedure using an isolated loop for the pancreas; this technique, derived from those previously described allows a good intussusception of the pancreatic stump into the intestinal loop. This method was performed in 22 pancreaticoduodenectomies. There were 2 operative deaths unrelated to the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis and one pancreatic fistula, which healed under medical treatment.

Department of Surgery, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Background: Opioid crisis is a national issue with significant economic burden and marked increase in opioid-related deaths, particularly following surgical procedures. Reducing opioid requirements while maintaining effective analgesia is critically challenging, perioperatively. Multimodal drug regimens and guided regional anesthesia (RA) have been adopted to address this issue.

: The robotic approach is an appealing way to perform minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy. We compare robotic cases' short-term and oncological outcomes to a historical cohort of open cases. : Data were collected in a prospective database between 2016 and 2024; complications were graded using the ISGPS definition for the specific pancreas-related complications and the Clavien-Dindo classification for overall complications.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, the Second Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, China.
Objective: The efficacy and safety of transcervical inflatable mediastinoscopic esophagectomy (TIME) in the treatment of esophageal cancer are unclear. The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TIME treatment for esophageal cancer and to compare it with thoracoscopic assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (TAMIE) for the treatment of esophageal cancer.
Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to retrieve articles published up to January 2024 to comparatively assess studies of TIME and TAMIE.

Unlabelled: Pancreatoduodenectomy represents the only curative alternative in patients with periampullary tumors, currently with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. However, there is little evidence in octogenarian patients.
Aim: To describe the experience of octogenarian patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy for tumors of the periampullary area at the Hospital Clínico de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
Application of Robot-assisted Pancreaticobiliary Junction Resection in Benign Duodenal Tumors.

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.
