The gastric antral mucosal diaphragms also called gastric antral webs (GAW) are circumferential membranes of mucosa and submucosa with a central aperture that occur in the gastric antrum near the pyloric canal [1]. They form a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) in adults [2,3]. A 45-year-old well-nourished male presented with postprandial epigastric pain, bloating, fullness and belc...

Background: The enzymatic digestion occurs in the abomasum of sheep. A systematic comprehensive study on embryogenesis abomasums sheep is lacking due to availability sporadic information current literature. So research was designed explain detail gross ontogenic occurrences along with scanning electron microscopic Methods: From local slaughter house, 12 healthy foeti non-descript breed were gat...

An ink marker at the descending part of the gastrojejunostomy or duodenojejunostomy after a pancreaticoduodenectomy or pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy prevents a misplacing of a postoperative endoscopic intervention.

Cases of congenital hypertrophic stenosis of the pylorus have been so frequently noticed of late that the mere record of a case is of little or no interest.

Twenty patients underwent a pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy for benign or malignant periampullary and pancreatic disease. Eighteen patients had a partial and two patients a total pancreatectomy. There were 19 elective and 1 emergency operations. Post-operative mortality was 4% (1/20 patients) and the median follow up was 31 months (range, 15-75 months), during which period 8 patients w...

Pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG) is a function-preserving surgery for the treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC), aiming to decrease the complication rate and improve postoperative quality of life. According to the Japanese gastric cancer treatment guidelines, PPG can be performed for cT1N0M0 gastric cancer located in the middle-third of the stomach, at least 4.0 cm away from the pylorus. ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to provide better understanding as to how the "double" vascular arcades, in contrast to other intestinal marginal vessels, develop along the right margin of the pancreatic head. MATERIALS AND METHODS In human fetuses between 8-30 weeks, we described the topographical anatomy of the vessels, bile duct, duodenum as well as the ventral and dorsal primordia of...
