A simpler combined drainage operation for a patient with chronic pancreatitis and chronic pseudocyst is described in the following conditions: the pancreatic duct was markedly dilated, the cyst was located directly behind the main pancreatic duct in the head of the pancreas and separate from the duodenum and the cyst caused persistent CBD stricture and cholestasis mainly by its compressive effect. The pancreatic duct was opened anteriorly throughout its length. A second incision was made in the posterior wall of the main pancreatic duct into the cyst and the edge of the opening was sutured for hemostasis. The opened pancreas was anastomosed to a Roux-en-Y jejunal limb according to the ordinary method of longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy. This technique, cystopancreaticostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy, may provide a simpler and effective operative strategy for patients with chronic pancreatitis and pseudocyst in similar conditions.

Background/aims: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an essential diagnostic and therapeutic method for pancreato-biliary disorders in adults, but its use in pediatric populations remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the indications, technical success, and safety of ERCP in pediatric patients.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of all ERCP procedures performed on patients under 18 years of age was conducted at 2 tertiary centers in Türkiye (Harran University and Gaziantep University Hospital) during the period between January 2013 and May 2024.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether tumor-associated lymphatic vessel density (LVD) could predict the survival of patients with hepato-biliary-pancreatic (HBP) cancers after radical resection.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library from the inception to July 31, 2024 for literature that reported the role of LVD in overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) of patients with HBP cancers after radical resection.

Results: Ten studies with 761 patients were included for the meta-analysis.

Background: Adverse events after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are rare, and post-ERCP pancreatitis is a serious adverse event. This study aimed to determine the role of aggressive intravenous hydration with lactated Ringer's solution at a specific volume with 20% human albumin before ERCP in reducing the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Methods: This study was a single-centre randomized clinical trial.

Background: Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) is commonly performed in patients with bile duct cancer (BDC). However, data regarding the timing of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) after PBD are insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the optimal timing for surgically and oncologically safe PD after PBD.

Background: Patients with painful chronic pancreatitis combined with a dilated main pancreatic duct and a normal size pancreatic head are treated according to guidelines by lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ). This systematic review compared outcomes of minimally invasive LPJ and open LPJ.

Methods: From 1 January 2000 until 13 November 2023, series reporting on minimally invasive LPJ and open LPJ in patients with symptomatic chronic pancreatitis were included.
