Laparoscopic Duodenum-Preserving Pancreatic Head Resection via Inferior Infracolic Approach: A Surgical Approach for Benign Lesions
Published on: February 9, 2024
[Cystic lesions of the pancreas from the general practitioner's point of view]
Abstract:
The detection rate of cystic lesions of the pancreas has increased following the widespread use of high-resolution imaging technologies. CT-scan, MRI and echo-endoscopy are diagnostic modalities. Pseudocyst is the most common lesion. It is benign and can be managed with endoscopic treatment. Mucinous cystic neoplasia and Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasia (IPMN) carry a risk for malignant transformation. The surgical treatment of these lesions has to be discussed by a multidisciplinary board. Serous cystic neoplasia and pseudopapillar and solid neoplasia are two rare types of lesion. The aim of this article is to present the diagnostic pathway and the management of these lesions from the general practitioner point of view.

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...
