저자들은 조기위암 환자에서 복강경보조 위전절제술 및 췌장보존식 비장절제술을 경험하였기에 이를 보고 하고자 한다. 62세 남자 환자로 내시경 조직검사에서 위상부와 위하부에 2개의 병변을 가진 조기위암으로 진단되어 복강경보조 위전절제술을 계획하고 수술을 진행하였다. 기복을 형성 후 5개의 투관을 삽입하여 위의 대만을 초음파 소작기로 박리 후 비장의 하단으로 박리를 진행하던 중 비장문부의 림프절 종대가 관찰되어 동결절편검사를 시행한 결과 암전이가 확인되어 위전절제술과 함께 췌장보존식 비장절제술을 시행하였다. 검상돌기 직하부에 수직으로 4 cm의 절개창을 형성 후 위장과 비장을 꺼낸 후 Roux-en-Y 식도공장문합술을 시행하였다. 환자는 수술 후 3일째 첫 번째 가스배출과 함께 유동식을 시작하였으며 별다른 문제없이 수술 후 9일째 퇴원하였다. 저자들은 비장문부의 림프절 암전이가 발견된 근위부 조기위암의 경우에도 복강경을 통한 제2군 림프절 절제가 가능함을 알 수 있었으며 복강경 보조 위전절제술 및 췌장보존식 비장절제술을 안전하게 시행할 수 있다고 생각한다.

Gastrectomy with lymph node dissection remains the gold standard for curative treatment of gastric cancer. Dissection of splenic hilar lymph nodes has been included as a part of D2 lymph node dissection for proximal gastric cancer. Previously, pancreatico-splenectomy has been performed for dissecting splenic hilar lymph nodes, followed by pancreas-preserving splenectomy and spleen-preserving lymphadenectomy. However, the necessity of routine splenectomy or splenic hilar lymph node dissection has been under debate due to the increased morbidity caused by splenectomy and the poor prognostic feature of splenic hilar lymph node metastasis. In contrast, the relatively high incidence of splenic hilar lymph node metastasis, survival advantage, and therapeutic value of splenic hilar lymph node dissection in some patient subgroups, as well as the effective use of novel technologies, still supports the necessity and applicability of splenic hilar lymph node dissection. In this review, we aimed to evaluate the need for splenic hilar lymph node dissection and suggest the subgroup of patients with favorable outcomes.

Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas occurs most frequently in the second or third decades of life, and is prevalent in females. Unlike other pancreatic malignancy, SPT usually has a low malignancy potential. This study reviews our clinical experience and surgical treatment of pancreatic SPT. Admission records and follow-up data were analyzed retrospectively for the period between January 1996 and January 2003. Five patients with a pancreatic mass were operated upon and SPT was confirmed by pathology in each case. The male to female ratio was 1: 4. The median age was 13.8 years. Findings were vague upper abdominal pain (n=5, 100 %) and an abdominal palpable mass (n=3, 60 %). The median tumor diameter was 6.8cm and the locations were 2 in the pancreatic head (40 %) and 3 in the pancreatic tail (60 %). Extra-pancreatic invasion or distant metastasis was not found at the initial operation in all five cases. A pyloruspreserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (n=1) and a mass enucleation (n=1) were performed in two patients of pancreatic head tumors. For three cases of tumors in pancreatic tail, distal pancreatectomy (n=2) and combined distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy (n=1) were performed. The median follow-up period was 60 months(12-117month). During the follow-up period, there was no local recurrence, nor distant metastasis. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy was not carried out. All five children were alive during the follow up period without any evidence of disease relapse. SPT of the pancreas in childhood has good prognosis and surgical resection of the tumor is usually curative.

Introduction: A post-traumatic mesenteric arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is extremely rare. Case Report: A previously healthy 26-year-old male was injured with an abdominal stab wound. Computed tomography (CT) showed liver injury, pancreas injury and a retropancreatic hematoma. We performed the hemostasis of the bleeding due to the liver injury, a distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy and evacuation of the retropancreatic hematoma. On the 5th postoperative day, an abdominal bruit and thrill was detected. CT and angiography showed an AVF between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the inferior mesenteric vein with early enhancement of the portal vein (PV). The point of the AVF was about 4 cm from the SMA's orifice. After an emergent laparotomy and inframesocolic approach, the isolation of the SMA was performed by dissection and ligation of adjacent mesenteric tissues which was about 6 cm length from the nearby SMA orifice, preserving the major side branches of the SMA, because the exact point of the AVF could not be identified despite the shunt flow in the PV being audible during an intraoperative hand-held Doppler-shift measurement. After that, the shunt flow could not be detected by using an intraoperative hand-held Doppler-shift measuring device. CT two and a half months later showed no AVF. There were no major complications during a 19-month follow-up period. Conclusion: Early management of a post-traumatic mesenteric AVF is essential to avoid complications such as hemorrhage, congestive heart failure and portal hypertension.
