|November 1, 2005
Abstract:
Experience of performance of pancreatic resection during two years in the clinic was summarized. In 90.4% of patients there was revealed malignant tumor, as a rule, in III-IV stage, complicated by jaundice, gastrointestinal bleeding and ileus. Postoperative complications rate was 28.8%, mortality--9.6%, after proximal pancreatic resection--11.4%. Pancreatic resection, including en bloc procedure, may be performed in the patients relatively securely, with not high complications rate and mortality.

01:30Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...
01:21Acute Pancreatitis II: Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis centers on injury to pancreatic acinar cells, which initiates a cascade of harmful intracellular events.This injury leads to premature activation of trypsinogen to trypsin in the pancreas. Trypsin then activates other digestive enzymes, such as chymotrypsin, elastase, and phospholipase A2, which begin breaking down pancreatic tissue. The resulting autodigestion causes local inflammation, tissue swelling, hemorrhage, and fat necrosis.Injured acinar cells...
