Article Abstract

Celiac axis stenosis (CAS) is one of the most prevalent splanchnic arterial pathologies. It seldom results in clinically severe ischemic bowel disease because of the rich collateral circulation from the superior mesenteric artery. Knowledge about the collaterals in celiac artery stenosis guides various interventional procedures. Here, we describe a case of a 19-year-old female with American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grade IV splenic injury found to have CAS. Distal splenic artery embolisation was performed via the collateral pathway through the pancreaticoduodenal arcade.

The development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma following liver transplant is rare. We present an unusual case of a 40-year-old female patient with morbid obesity who had undergone a deceased donor liver transplant for an unresectable neuroendocrine tumor of the liver 12 years ago. She presented with a lesion in the tail of pancreas that was suggestive of a recurrent neuroendocrine tumor.

Background: Spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy by robotic surgery is a safe and feasible surgical technique. Currently, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy represents an alternative to the classical distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, in the case of benign and low-grade malignant diseases of the body or pancreas tail. The reasons for preserving the spleen are based on the reduction of postoperative complications, such as post-splenectomy infections, subphrenic abscess, portal thrombosis, pulmonary hypertension, thrombocytosis, and thromboembolism.

Gastrosplenic fistula is a rare complication, most often secondary to gastric or splenic lymphoma. Severe gastrosplenic fistula can cause life-threatening upper gastrointestinal bleeding, making early diagnosis and intervention critical for a favorable prognosis. Currently, surgical intervention remains the primary treatment; however, outcomes are often suboptimal.

Background: Radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) enables posterior dissection along Gerota's fascia, contributing to improved R0 resection rates, lymphadenectomy, and overall survival (OS) in pancreatic body and tail cancers. Although a posterior margin ≥ 1000 μm has been associated with better prognosis, its relative impact compared with Gerota's fascia resection remains unclear. This study evaluated whether securing a posterior margin ≥ 1000 μm improves outcomes in patients undergoing Gerota's fascia resection for pancreatic body and tail cancer.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated neuropathy characterized by progressive or relapsing-remitting proximal and distal weakness. Lymphomas are among various hematological malignancies associated with CIDP. Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a rare, indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that classically presents with splenomegaly and cytopenia.
