Many cases of surgical resection of metastatic pancreatic tumors originating from renal cell carcinoma have been reported; however, cases of reresection of recurrent pancreatic metastasis of renal cell carcinoma in the remnant pancreas are rare. We performed a second resection for recurrent pancreatic metastasis of renal cell carcinoma six years after pancreatoduodenectomy with pancreaticogastr...

Breakdown of the pancreaticoenterostomy is responsible for a number of complications and for the high mortality associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy. Although in recent years the postoperative mortality has dropped to less than 10% and in some to less than 5%, pancreatic fistula remains the most common and troublesome complication. Various procedures, such as duct ligation or occlusion, rese...

A 14-year-old boy was admitted for acute pancreatitis secondary to pancreas divisum. The patient failed to improve with conservative management.

No report about the ant...
