Article Abstract
Background: Uncinate process dissection is one of the major challenges for surgeons when performing laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the artery first approach for handling uncinate process dissection in laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy.
Methods: Between February 2015 and June 2018, a total of 91 consecutive patients without vascular encasement underwent selective laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy, including the first 26 consecutive cases treated with the conventional approach and the remaining 65 with the artery first approach applied for uncinate process dissection. Here, we present and analyze the surgical outcomes and the oncological results for the two groups.
Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, the rate of conversion to open pancreatoduodenectomy, postoperative complications, mortality, as well as the number of lymph nodes retrieved in the malignancies. In contrast, the artery first approach group showed a statistically significant shorter resection time and a higher R0 resection rate when compared with the conventional group.
Conclusions: The artery first approach is a safe and feasible technique that can be used for uncinate process management in laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy for patients without vascular encasement. It also has the advantage of increased rate of radical resection in the surgical intervention of relevant malignancies.

Objective: Reveal the changing rule of the positional relationship between the uncinate process of cervical spine and vertebral artery by measuring the relevant parameters between the uncinate process of cervical spine and vertebral artery in different age groups.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 1240 cases of cervical spine imaging data from 2018 to 2021 in the Radiology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University. The distance between the uncinate process superior ridge and vertebral artery and the maximum of pedicle transverse angle, the minimum of pedicle transverse angle, the range of pedicle transverse angle and the pedicle width were measured according to age groups.

Background: Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) of the pancreas is a rare tumor of pancreatic mesenchymal origin with malignant potential. Critical to appropriate clinical management is determining whether the tumor is benign or malignant. Because of its rarity, morphologic and histologic characteristics and limited patient follow-up of pancreatic PEComa have precluded precise definition of malignancy.

Background: Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) is a rare tumor of the pancreas with a low degree of malignancy. This tumor is most common in the female field, and in the children's population, this pathology is less common and occurs on average for the ages of 11-14 years old. The differential diagnosis of the tumor is difficult due to the lack of specific symptoms.
