BACKGROUND
Pancreatic cystic lesions present a challenge for patients and physicians alike. Morphology alone is inaccurate in discriminating lesion pathology, and use of EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA) improves accuracy. Current American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guidelines recommend
BACKGROUND
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is universally used for the investigation and diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCL). Infectious complications following EUS-FNA of PCL are rare. Antibiotic prophylaxis to reduce the risk of infection is recommended;
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effects of Sargent gloryvine decoction (SGD) on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) treatment and to evaluate its clinical value.
METHODS
112 patients of SAP in our hospital from January, 2005 to December, 2012 were recruited for retrospective analysis. They were divided into
OBJECTIVE
To describe our series of distal pancreatectomies with preservation of the spleen utilizing the Warshaw operation with a focus on possible long-term complications due to the development of gastric varices.
BACKGROUND
The Warshaw operation was first described in 1988. The splenic vessels
A 50-year-old man with a history of alcohol-induced pancreatitis was admitted to a hospital with swelling and pain of the right ankle, and fever, and was suspected to have osteomyelitis. Radiographs of the fingers, ankles, and feet, in which pain and swelling were present, revealed multiple
A case report is presented of a patient admitted to a thoracic specialist unit on account of predominantly pulmonary symptomatology. There was a left-sided haemorrhagic pulmonary effusion, which rapidly returned after tapping. The patient then developed a high fever and shock. Mediastinal widening
A 63-year-old man presented with left flank pain and spiked fever. Computed tomography revealed a pancreatic cyst and left renal subcapsular fluid collection that appeared to be connected to the cyst. High levels of amylase and lipase were observed in a test puncture of renal fluid collection. The
BACKGROUND
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a technique frequently used to diagnose solid and cystic lesions of the pancreas. Antibiotic prophylaxis has been recommended for EUS-FNA of pancreatic cystic lesions but is not universally observed. The most effective
Mucinous nonneoplastic cyst of the pancreas is a rare disease defined as a cystic lesion lined with mucinous epithelium, supported by hypocellular stroma and not communicating with the pancreatic ducts. Mucinous nonneoplastic cyst of the pancreas has no malignant potential and does not Mucinous cystadenomas are benign tumors with malignant potential. They are often revealed by non-specific abdominal pain, jaundice or an episode of acute pancreatitis. We here report an exceptional case of mucinous cystadenoma doubly complicated by acute pancreatitis and retroperitoneal rupture. The
OBJECTIVE
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is commonly performed in conjunction with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedures. The complication rate associated with FNA is considered to be low but requires further evaluation with prospective studies.
METHODS
A total of 483 consecutive patients who
Guidelines recommend routine antibiotic prophylaxis for patients undergoing endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of pancreatic cysts, but there is conflicting evidence for its necessity. We investigated whether the performing procedure without antimicrobial
