Isolated pancreatic injury is uncommon and the management is challenging. Presentation is mostly delayed in such cases. We report a case of 26-year-old male, who was referred to our centre due to blunt abdominal trauma of 48 h duration with pain abdomen and vomiting. He was haemodynamically stable and was subjected to endoscopy after few hours of admission, but failed to cannulate the main panc...

After ligation of the main pancreatic duct in the splenic lobe, Syrian golden hamsters were treated, either p.o. or s.c., for 15 weeks with dihydroxydi-n-propylnitrosamine for induction of pancreatic duct carcinomas. The incidence, location, and type of proliferative lesions distal and proximal to the ligature were recorded and compared to those of dihydroxydi-n-propylnitrosamine-treated hamste...

Schwannomas are benign tumors originating from Schwann cells, which the main component of neural sheath. Biliary schwannomas extremely rare. We report case a 78-year-old man who presented with no abdominal symptoms or jaundice.

Purpose: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the gold standard of management of gallstone disease. LC is associated with a two-to-four times higher incidence of bile duct injury, which is a rare but more serious complication than open cholecystectomy. We reviewed our experiences with the management of bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: From January 1999 to A...

Diseases of the extrahepatic biliary system are often confused with other intraabdominal disorders because their course and clinical signs are similar.
