Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare female predominant pancreatic neoplasm with favorable prognosis. Complete removal usually curative, and recurrences or mortalities are uncommon. This study aimed to present Mayo clinic experience SPT in 20-year cohort emphasizing clinical presentations, pathological features predictors outcomes. one largest single institu...

THE AIM OF THE STUDY was the retrospective analysis of early results after distal pancreatectomy (DP). MATERIAL AND METHODS During the period between January, 2000 and December, 2010 distal pancreatectomy was performed in 73 patients, including 32 (43.83%) male, and 41 (56.16%) female patients. Average patient age amounted to 53.92 ± 14.37 years. Surgery was performed by means of laparoscopy ...

Postprandial symptoms of neuroglycopenia after bariatric surgery may result as a consequence of endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (nesidioblastosis) not dumping syndrome. Pancreatectomy is an acceptable treatment for this condition. We present the video of a case of near-total distal robotic pancreactectomy for the treatment of nesidioblastosis after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Robotic pan...

CONTEXT Pancreatic injuries caused by blunt trauma are often treated conservatively, except for the highest grades of these. CASE REPORT We report a case of complete transection of the distal pancreas in a young adult which was successfully managed by spleen-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy followed by an islet autotransplantation in the patient's forearm striated muscle. CONCL...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Multifocal lesions of the pancreas generally require a total pancreatectomy. However, total pancreatectomy causes severe and permanent pancreatic endocrine and exocrine insufficiency. The aim of this study was to review our experiences of combined resection of the pancreas as an alternative to total pancreatectomy. METHODOLOGY From July 2004 to July 2011, 5 patients were indic...
