Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is well known as a safe diagnostic procedure. We report the first case of pancreatic pseudocyst after EUS-FNA of the pancreatic body mass. A 60-year-old male underwent EUS-FNA for incidentally detected pancreatic solid mass which was suspected as neuroendocrine tumor. Two weeks later, the patient visited emergency room with acute abd...

Human islet transplantation seems to be a very promising clinical procedure for patients with type I diabetes mellitus. The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of in situ intravascular flushing with University of Wisconsin (UW) solution and intraductal collagenase injection at the time of pancreas procurement on the isolated islets and exocrine tissue injury. Our experiments indic...

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...

Isolated blunt pancreatic injuries are rare. Diagnosis is often delayed due to minimal symptoms and signs. Elevated serum amylase or lipase levels on routine pre-operative laboratory investigations makes injury highly likely. Contrast Enhanced CT scan usually confirmatory. We reporting two patients who presented with abdominal trauma, haemodynamically stable, epigastric tenderness. Pre-admissio...

Major pancreatic injury following blunt abdominal trauma by itself is a relatively rare occurrence, and in vast majority of cases (95%) it is associated with injury to adjacent major vessels and organs; thus making isolated major pancreatic injury even rarer. While most pancreatic injuries are managed by simple measures like debridement and drainage, complex proximal injury poses surgical chall...
