Leak after Whipple Resection: Preventable?
133 While the safety of endoscopic banding liga-tion is largely undisputed, there is one major risk of this technique: esophageal perforation during insertion of the overtube. Perforation of the esophagus often occurs as a result of inability to relax the pharyngeal muscle by the patient and forceful insertion of the tube by the endoscopist. The development of multiple banding ligators (Speedba...

متن کاملIntraoperative ventilatory leak predicts prolonged air leak after lung resection: A retrospective observational study
Prolonged air leak (PAL), defined as air leak more than 5 days after lung resection, has been associated with various adverse outcomes. However, studies on intraoperative risk factors for PAL are not sufficient. We investigated whether the intraoperative ventilatory leak (VL) can predict PAL. A retrospective study of 1060 patients with chest tubes after lung resection was conducted. Tidal volum...
متن کاملPylorus-preserving Kausch-Whipple resection: the successor of the classical Kausch-Whipple in chronic pancreatitis.
Chronic pancreatitis can be a debilitating disease. Resection for complicated disease and in those patients with intractable pain is a major component of therapy. There are potentially important physiological advantages with the pylorus preserving Kausch-Whipple (P-KW) compared to the standard Kausch-Whipple (KW) resection but further prospective studies are required to show this unequivocally....
متن کاملBronchial valve treatment for pulmonary air leak after anatomical lung resection for cancer.
A persistent post-operative pulmonary expiratory air leak after an anatomical pulmonary resection is usually managed conservatively, but can be associated with significant morbidity and increased costs. The use of bronchial valves is a minimally invasive method that may be an effective and safe treatment in this setting. In a prospective study, the clinical efficacy of intrabronchial valve trea...
