Pancreaticoduodenectomy, commonly known as the Whipple procedure, is a complex surgical operation involving the removal of the pancreatic head, duodenum, gallbladder, and bile duct that is often performed to treat malignant tumors in these regions. The procedure also necessitates the reconstruction of...
Endoscopic ultrasound guided hepatico-gastrostomy (EUS-HGS) is technically challenging procedure. Guidewire manipulation during EUS-HGS is a rate limiting step. Primarily we rely on fluoroscopy during guidewire manipulation. In this case we have demonstrated how EUS vision helped in accurate positioning ...
We present a step-by-step approach to the robotic Whipple procedure. The discussion includes port setting and robotic docking, kocherization and superior mesenteric vein identification, portal dissection, releasing the ligament of Treitz, uncinate dissection, and reconstruction. A brief report of our ...
was then withdrawn and the mats were washed twice with sterile PBS and then incubated with 1 ml of medium at 37° C. under 5% of CO2. The cultures were monitored by the cytocentrifugation of 100 μl of the supernatant in the bijoux tubes and Gimenez staining. This procedure was repeated...
The minimally invasive approach for pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD) is not performed just to accomplish the procedure through a small incision or to shorten hospital stay for a day or two. Its purpose is a better operation, by performing a more precise dissection and reconstruction with lesser ...
Whipple procedureThe incidence of a secondde novopancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) among patients with prior cancer has been reported to be 6%.1,2however, as survival increases through improvements in systemic therapy, this incidence of ade novoPDAC after prior PDAC may become more prevalent....
