Readmission rates after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) are among the highest of any surgical procedure. The purpose of this study was to identify those factors present at discharge that may predict readmission after PD. All patients undergoing PD between 2010 and 2015 at a very high (>35 PD/year)
BACKGROUND
The pancreas is a rare primary location of hydatid disease. The purpose of our study is to gain more insight into this entity and to focus on the management and the diagnostic approach to the disease.
METHODS
The medical records of 5 patients with hydatid cysts of the pancreas were
Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) is an important tool for treatment of pancreaticobiliary diseases. However, ERCP may be difficult in patients who have altered gastrointestinal anatomy due to congenital or surgical reasons. A 40-year-old male with HIV infection presented with
BACKGROUND
Owing to increased awareness and the widespread use of abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography, an increasing number of cystic neoplasms are being identified. Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are divided into the following 4 main groups: serous cystic neoplasms, mucinous cystic
Whether an additional Braun enteroenterostomy is necessary in reducing delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has not yet been well investigated. Herein, in this retrospective study, 395 consecutive cases of patients undergoing classic PD from 2009 to 2013 were reviewed.
About 1% of paraesophageal hernias (PEH) require emergency surgery due to obstruction or gangrene. We present two complicated cases of incarcerated PEH. Presentation of cases: A patient aged 18 with trisomy 21 was admitted after four days of vomiting and epigastric pain. CT scan Pancreatic fistulas are rare clinical entities associated with severe pancreatitis. A 39-year-old man who had been diagnosed and treated for severe pancreatitis 2 months ago presented with abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting. The abdominal computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a peripancreatic
Cystadenomas of the pancreas are rare tumors. They represent about 10% of the pancreatic cystic masses. Several hundred cases seem to have been reported so far. These tumors appear as serous and mucinous. Over 13 years period (1983-1996) we treated 22 patients for cystadenoma of the pancreas. All
OBJECTIVE
Surgery has been the only option available for many years for treating pseudocyst of the pancreas. Recently, new methods, such as percutaneous drainage, endoscopic transenteric drainage and transpapillary drainage, began to be used for treatment of the pseudocyst. But we have to agree that
BACKGROUND
Elevated pancreatic duct pressure is a potential source of pain in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Endoscopic pancreatic duct stenting is a minimally invasive way of reducing this pressure and may be a useful adjunct to surgery in these patients.
METHODS
We prospectively reviewed a
Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) after a surgical operation is very rare. We experienced an extremely rare case of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis with subsequent development of SMAS requiring duodenojejunostomy. A 74-year-old Asian woman underwent total colectomy, ileal pouch-anal
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the methods of diagnosis and surgical treatment for nonfunctional islet cell tumor (NICT).
METHODS
Forty-four patients with non-functional islet cell tumor treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University during January 1968 to June 2008 were analyzed
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) holds high postoperative morbidity. How to resolve this issue is challenged. An additional anastomosis (Braun enteroenterostomy) following PD may decrease the postoperative morbidity, but holds conflicting results. The objective of this study is to investigate the
The aim of this study was to prospectively analyze the possible association of delayed gastric emptying and postoperative pancreatic complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Although hospital mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy is minimal, morbidity is still high; delayed gastric emptying is
Pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma (MCA) occurs almost exclusively in perimenopausal women and represents between 10% and 45% of cystic neoplasm of the pancreas, being considered a premalignant lesion.From 1983 to 2017, 31 patients underwent surgery for MCA of
