腹腔镜保留十二指肠胰头切除术初步体会

目的总结腹腔镜保留十二指肠胰头切除术(laparoscopic duodenum preserving pancreatic head resection,LDPPHR)的经验。方法回顾性分析2019年3月南方医科大学珠江医院肝胆二科1例行LDPPHR患者的临床资料。结果患者顺利完成手术,手术时间280 min,术中出血量50 ml,未予输血。术后出现胆漏,予保守治疗后痊愈。无术后出血、胰漏、十二指肠瘘、胆总管狭窄等并发症。术后病理报告显示胰头慢性炎。结论LDPPHR对于胰头良性病变的治疗是安全的、可行的,具有创伤小、恢复快、改善患者术后生活质量等优点,值得临床推广应用。

Pancreatic Head Carcinoma Versus Chronic Pancreatitis of Pancreatic Head: MR Imaging

Objective: To evaluate the manifestation of pancreatic head carcinoma andchronic pancreatitis of pancreatic head on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and to determine whetherMR imaging can distinguish the two diseases. Methods: A retrospective review of MR findings wasperformed for 24 patients with pancreatic head carcinoma and 3 patients with chronic pancreatitis ofpancreatic head. SE T1WI and FSE T2WI sequences with and without fat suppression were performed onall 27 cases. Enhanced SE T1WI with fat suppression was performed on 8 patients with carcinomas and3 patients with pancreatitis, respectively. When dilatation of the pancreatic and/or biliary ductswas noted on T2WI sequence, MRCP were performed on 23 patients with carcinoma and 1 patient withpancreatitis, respectively. Results: Cases of carcinoma presented hypointensity (n=8) or mildhypointensity (n=16) on conventional SE T1WI, hy-perintensity (n=8), mild hyperintensity (n=5),isointensity (n=10) or hypointensity (n=1) on conventional FSE T2WI,hyperintensity (n=11),isointensity (n=11) or mild hypointensity (n=2) on FSE T2WI with fat suppression, and hypointensity(n=24) on fat-suppressed SE T1WI. MRCP demonstrated typical 'double duct sign' and abruptinterruption at distal segment of dilated common bile duct. All 8 patients with carcinoma showedlittle enhancement. All 3 patients with chronic pancreatitis showed mild hypointensity oriosintensity on conventional SE T1WI and hyperintensity on conventional FSE T2WI sequences,respectively. Two patients showed isointensity and mild hyperintensity on fat-suppressed SE T1WI andFSE T2WI sequences, respectively. The remaining patient showed hypointensity and heterogeneousintensity on fat-suppressed SE T1WI and FSE T2WI sequences respectively and a mild dilated commonbiliary duct with irregularly dilated proximal pancreatic duct on MRCP. All 3 patients with chronicpancreatitis showed various enhancements. Conclusion: Both pancreatic head carcinoma and chronicpancreatitis show various signals on various sequences and abnormal pancreatic enhancement patternand most cases of pancreatic head carcinoma and some cases of chronic pancreatitis show abnormalMRCP appearances. With the combined use of multiple sequences, especially precontrast andpostcontrast SE T1WI FS and MRCP, pancreatic head carcinoma and chronic pancreatitis of pancreatichead may be distinguished from each other.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm in chronic calcifying pancreatitis:Egg or hen?

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(IPMN)is an increasingly reported entity.Extensive pancreatic calcification is generally thought to be a sign of chronic pancreatitis,but it may occur simultaneously with IPMN leading to diagnostic difficulties.We report a case of a patient initially diagnosed with chronic calcifying pancreatitis who was later shown to have a malignant IPMN.This case illustrates potential pitfalls in the diagnosis of IPMN in the case of extensive pancreatic calcification as well as clues that may lead the clinician to suspecting the diagnosis.The possible mechanisms of the relation between pancreatic calcification and IPMN are also reviewed.
