Presenter: Mridul Pansari MD | Florida Atlantic University Background: Stenting of the pancreatic and biliary anastomoses a Whipple procedure has been shown to lower rate anastomotic leak in several retrospective prospective studies. We describe here combined ductal external drainage catheter we have used successfully our pancreatico-duodenectomy operations. Methods: identified / stent which co...

Since September 2005, the Whipple 10 m Gamma-ray Telescope has been used primarily to monitor known TeV AGN. The five Northern Hemisphere blazars that have been previously detected at Whipple, (Markarian 421, H1426+428, Markarian 501, 1ES 1959+650 and 1ES 2344+514) are monitored each night that they are visible. A number of multiwavelength observing campaigns have been undertaken by many collab...

Pancreatoduodenectomy is now the most fundamental operation for cancer of the pancreatic head. However, with the conventional operative procedure, the resection rate is low and long-term results are extremely poor. We introduced an extended radical Whipple operation in 1978 to improve surgical curability. Systemic dissection of extended lymph nodes and plexuses and en bloc resection of the port...

Surgery for portal hypertension began in 1877, with Nicolai Vladirmirovich who performed the fi rst portacaval anastomosis. There was little clinical success until Blakemore and Whipple between the 1920’s and 1940’s: the mortality rate ranged from 25-40%. Hepatic encephalopathy was a clinical problem. In 1960, Warren and collegues performed a distal splenorenal shunt, which reduced the incidenc...

The role of surgical resection in the treatment of pancreatic cancer was established in 1935 by Whipple and associates with the demonstration that resections of the head of the pancreas could be technically performed. Accumulated clinical experience with pancreatic resectioning has demonstrated that radical surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer results in significant morbidity and mortality a...

INTRODUCTION Patients with resection of stomach and especially with Billroth II reconstruction (gastro jejunal anastomosis), are more likely to develop afferent loop syndrome which is a rare complication. When the afferent part is obstructed, biliary and pancreatic secretions accumulate and cause the distention of this part. In the case of a complete obstruction (rare), there is a high risk dev...

Objective Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is an uncommon but serious complication of Whipple surgery. To evaluate the radiologic features associated with late PPH at the first postoperative follow up CT, before bleeding. Materials and Methods To evaluate the radiological features associated with late PPH at the first follow-up CT, two radiologists retrospectively reviewed the initial post...
