BACKGROUND The feasibility of binding pancreaticogastrostomy in laparoscopic central pancreatectomy is not known. METHODS In October 2011, a female patient with a pancreatic neck mass received laparoscopic central pancreatectomy with binding pancreaticogastrostomy. RESULTS The operation was successful. No complications occurred. The operative time was 210 min. Blood loss was 120 ml. On day ...

Background: Isolated pancreatic metastases of other neoplasms are an uncommon pathology, particularly with a colo-rectal cancer origin. Surgery represents the single hope for a long-term survival in these patients, but most of the previously reported patients in the literature underwent standard pancreatic resections. A central pancreatectomy is a non-standardized pancreatic resection, which wa...

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy has been described for more than a decade now and has been considered technically feasible, safe, and with reproducible outcomes. It seems to exhibit several benefits of minimally invasive surgery and should be performed in carefully selected patients. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 55-year-old Greek woman with a solid pseudopapillary...

Introduction: Patterns of recurrence following pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Cancer (PC) are heterogenous, with studies illustrating that site can be associated prognosis. Here we investigate novel molecular determinants pattern PC.

Surgeons facing with benign, premalignant and malignant tumors of the body and the tail of pancreas utilize distal pancreatectomy that is worldwide considered to be a standardized procedure. Traditionally, this operation includes en-bloc splenectomy. As an alternative, a spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy may be performed through conservation of the splenic artery and vein by ligating the ...

The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the technological viability, basic safety and consequence of central pancreatectomy (CP) with pancreaticogastrostomy in properly chosen sufferers with noncancerous central pancreatic pathology. This research is centered on the infirmary charts of West China hospital. We recruited 20 individuals from 2007 to 2009 diagnosed with benign cancerous growth...

We report five children who required total pancreatectomy in the neonatal period for life threatening hypoglycaemia. Subsequent diabetes was managed with once daily subcutaneous insulin, oral pancreatic extract, and a controlled carbohydrate diet. Daily home blood glucose profiles in four of these children were different from those of 14 C-peptide negative children with type 1 insulin dependent...

Laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy has been widely performed for benign and borderline malignancy in the body or tail of the pancreas when there are not oncologic indications for splenectomy. As the need for minimally invasive procedures to reduce postoperative morbidity and improve the quality of life is increasing, many surgeons have attempted to reduce the number of trocars...
