OBJECTIVE
To report an uncommon method of managing pancreatic fistulas and retroperitoneal abscess.
METHODS
A 50-year-old man was admitted with fever, abdominal pain, periumbilical fistula and pus in stool. Five months before admission, he underwent urgent necrosectomy (7 days after onset of pain)
The accessory pancreatic duct (APD) is the main drainage duct of the dorsal pancreatic bud in the embryo and varies greatly during development. An APD fistula is a rare and easily neglected complication. In this case report, the first symptom of the patient was postoperative abdominal Pancreatic fistula (PF) is an important complication that may develop during intra-abdominal surgeries and following distal pancreas trauma. In the early period, drainage from the surgical site and increased amylase production based on the biochemical examination of the drainage fluid are the
OBJECTIVE
External pancreatic fistula (EPF) is a common sequel to surgical or percutaneous intervention for infective complications of acute severe pancreatitis. The present study was aimed at studying the clinical profile, course and outcome of patients with EPF following surgical or percutaneous
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the efficacy of ultrasonography (US) in the early postoperative period after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) to diagnose postoperative-pancreatic-fistula (POPF). Early diagnosis is important to prevent POPF-dependent mortality after PD. The value of radiological modalities for
We present the first report of needle tract seeding with simultaneous abscess associated with pancreatic fistula occurring after endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). A 72-year-old woman complained of fever 18 days after EUS-FNA for
BACKGROUND
Pancreatic fistula is traditionally suspected on the basis of increased drain amylase activity. However, some patients have a low amylase level but later manifest clinical evidence of a fistula. This study investigated the prevalence and significance of these
BACKGROUND
An external pancreatic fistula (EPF) generally results from an iatrogenic manipulation of a pancreatic fluid collection (PFC), such as walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN). Severe necrotizing pancreatitis can lead to complete duct disruption, causing disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome
BACKGROUND
The overall complication rate after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) approaches 50 %, with anastomotic failure being the most frequent cause of serious postoperative morbidity. Hepaticojejunostomy leaks (also called bile leaks) are the second most common type of leak, behind
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study is to review 10 years experience of retroperitoneoscopy procedures.
METHODS
A total of 600 patients treated between 1995 and 2007 by retroperitoneoscopy (nephrectomy, partial and total nephrectomy, adrenalectomy, pyeloplasty, renal cyst, calyceal diverticulectomy)
The hydatidosis is a frequent zoonosis in Spain, but isolated location in pancreas and their onset as acute abdomen is excepcional. We present a boy 14 years old, with abdominal pain and low-grade fever since 1 month. Hemogram shows eosinophilia, and echography an anechoic mass in tail of pancreas
To report the first case of Whipple surgery performed at the Regional Hospital of Tumbes for the treatment of ampullary adenocarcinoma with successful results. A case report of a patient with diagnosis of ampullary adenocarcinoma, in whom was performed the first Whipple surgery at the Regional
This case reports a iatrogenic gastric fistula due to external draining successfully closed by using an over- the-scope clip. A 50-year old patient with a history of acute pancreatitis, segmental portal hypertension and splenectomy for splenic rupture, with long-term external drainage for a low
BACKGROUND
It is well known that conventional splenectomy, which requires careful handling and ligation of tissue of the splenic hilum, can easily cause complications such as splenic fever and pancreatic fistula. Here, we use the technique of dissection of the secondary branches of the splenic
METHODS
A 62-year-old woman was admitted because of sudden onset of increasingly severe pain in the left lower leg and foot. She also reported having had diarrhoea for the past few days.
METHODS
Physical examination revealed a cold and pale left leg below the knee joint. Peripheral sensory and motor
