pancreatic fistula/edema

OBJECTIVE Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a major complication after resective pancreatic surgery. This study aimed to identify histomorphological features of the pancreatic remnant as independent determinants for the development of POPF. METHODS Twenty-five patients, 3.6% of 696

Objective: To examine the effect of pancreaticojejunostomy with pancreatic duct binding external drainage in laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy. Methods: The data of 21 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in the same treatment group from January 2017 to October

CONCLUSIONS Pancreatic exocrine hypofunction is markedly deteriorated during acute exacerbation in a rat model with chronic pancreatitis. BACKGROUND Little is known about pancreatic exocrine function during acute exacerbation in patients with chronic pancreatitis. We investigated changes in

In an attempt to decrease catheter drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts, a combined regimen of percutaneous drainage and administration of octreotide acetate was used in eight symptomatic patients. Indications for the combined therapy were pseudocyst recurrence (four patients), pancreatic fistula from

Introduction: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has been widely applied as a standard surgical procedure to treat periampullary diseases. The placement of a pancreaticojejunal anastomotic stent is considered an effective and safe method for

Acute pancreatic duct obstruction causes hyperamylasemia and mild pancreatic inflammation. We hypothesized that bile exclusion from the gut, which stimulates pancreatic secretion, exacerbates acute pancreatitis caused by pancreatic duct obstruction. Rats were surgically prepared with gastric,

OBJECTIVE Several previous studies have shown that obestatin exhibits protective and regenerative effects in some organs including the stomach, kidney, and the brain. In the pancreas, pretreatment with obestatin inhibits the development of cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis, and promotes survival

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the clinical application of CT guided 125iodine implantation in patients with portal vein tumor thrombus in primary hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS The ten patients (9 males and 1 female, aged from 36 to 72 years) with portal vein tumor thrombus accompanying

BACKGROUND There is limited information on the impact on perioperative fluid intervention on complications and length of hospital stay following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Therefore, we conducted a detailed analysis of fluid intervention in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy at a university
