Background null Several approaches have been reported during laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP), such as medial, lateral, and posterior approaches. This study reports a tail-first approach that is mobilization of the pancreatic gland from tail to neck followed by division. The short-term outcomes are described. null Methods null Cases which underwent LSPDP from 2014 to 2020 at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University were included. Clinical parameters were collected and ana...

Purpose/Background: During the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, elective surgery was halted in Texas in accordance with the Governor's executive order. Emergency and cancer operations were still allowed and performed at our institution. Our hypothesis was that Covid negative patients undergoing surgery during this time period have worse short term outcomes. We set out to identify rates of Postoperative Ileus (POI) and Length Of Stay (LOS) in patients that underwent surgery during the pande...
BACKGROUND Radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) is the standardized approach in open pancreatic resection for pancreatic body and tail cancer. However, few studies have described regarding robotic RAMPS for pancreatic cancer. We herein present our techniques of robotic RAMPS using the supracolic anterior superior mesenteric artery (SMA) approach with the ventral view. METHODS The patient was a 75-year-old female with a diagnosis of pancreatic body cancer. Following neoadjuvant ...
Background null Transmembrane serine protease 4 (TMPRSS4) belongs to the family of type II transmembrane serine proteases that are known to be upregulated in many malignant tumors. However, there is a paucity of studies documenting the clinical impact and biological effects of TMPRSS4 on gastric cancer (GC) patients who underwent surgery. null Methods null Tissues samples were obtained from 105 patients with GC who underwent gastrectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, excluding those at stage...
In this video, we present the laparoscopic technique of pancreas-preserving segmental resection for GISTs of the 4th portion of the duodenum. A 54-year-old male presented with a polypoid mass of about 3 cm in diameter with a large base, in the 4th portion of the duodenum, about 4 cm from the ampulla. Multiple endoscopic biopsies were taken, and all were negative for adenocarcinoma. CT scan of the abdomen confirmed that the mass, suggestive of GIST, was limited to the duodenum, a limited part int...

Background null The effect of varying severity and timing of complications after hepatic resection on 30-day mortality has not been thoroughly examined. null Methods null National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Patient User Files (NSQIP-PUF) were used to identify patients who underwent elective hepatic resection between 2014 and 2019. The impact of number, timing, and severity of complications on 30-day mortality was examined. null Results null Among 25,084 patients who underwent hepatic r...

Background null The use of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is widespread owing to its several advantages, especially smaller incision (Kaneko et al., Ann Gastroenterol Surg 1:33-43, 1; Ciria et al., Surg Endosc 34:349-360, 2). However, both posterior sectionectomy and donor hepatectomy are extremely difficult procedures to perform in LLR (Hasegawa et al., Ann Gastroenterol Surg 2:376-382, 3; Soubrane and Kwon, J Hepatobiliary Pancreat Sci 24:E1-E5, 4; Takahara et al., Transplantation 101:1628...
