A case of post-gastrectomy acute pancreatitis
October 16, 2009Gastrectomy is commonly performed for both benign and malignant lesions. Although the incidence of post-gastrectomy acute pancreatitis (PGAP) is low compared to other well-recognized post-operative complications, it has been reported to be associated with a high mortality rate.
A clinical research team from Taiwan reported a case of asymptomatic pancreatic divisum who underwent palliative subtotal gastrectomy for an advanced gastric cancer with liver metastasis. Their study will be published on September 28, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology.
Their research illustrated early detection and aggressive treatment of PGAP for patients with pancreas divisum or dominant duct of Santorini who fail to follow the normal post-operative course after gastrectomy might improve the prognosis.

Gastrectomy Current Events and Gastrectomy News RSSD2 lymphadenectomy improves the long-term survival for patients with node-negative gastric cancer

Improving postoperative quality of life in gastric cancer patients by a special reconstruction method
Given equivalent results with regards to survival, the impact of anastomotic methods on QOL becomes even more important.
Study suggests TB screening needs to be targeted for maximum public health benefit
New estimates of the likelihood that a latent case of tuberculosis (TB) will become active have resulted in a roughly 50 percent increase over previous estimates of the number of people needed to be screened (NNS) to prevent an active infection, limiting the cost effectiveness of screening in many Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-defined risk groups.
