INTRODUCCIÓN: La dehiscencia de la anastomosis pancreatoyeyunal es la complicación más temida de la pancreatoduodenectomía proximal (PDP) y puede ocacionar la muerte del paciente. Objetivo Presentamos nuestra experiencia acumulada en 198 PDPs reconstruídos utilizando la técnica simplificada de la anastomosis pancreatoyeyunal. TÉCNICA OPERATORIA: Consiste en realizar una sutura en bolsa de tabaco alrededor del borde libre del yeyuno para introducir 4 cm de muñón pancreático guiado por dos suturas transfixiantes entre el páncreas y el intestino, cerrar el yeyuno sobre el páncreas ajustando la sutura en bolsa de tabaco y colocar 4 puntos separados para “anclar” la anastomosis. Se descomprime las anastomosis pancreática y biliar mediante yeyunostomía. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Estudio prospectivo de 198 pacientes consecutivos que tuvieron PDP en el Instituto de Enfermedades Neopl...

Purpose: The role of tumor deposits (TDs) in the staging of gastric cancer is currently debatable. TDs are defined as tumoral nodules in perigastric adipose tissue with no evidence of lymphatic, vascular, or neural structures. Clinicopathological factors related to the presence of TDs are not well defined. This study aimed to identify the clinicopathological factors associated with the presence of TDs in resected gastric cancer patients. Materials and methods: This prospective study included patients diagnosed with gastric cancer and treated with D2 radical gastrectomy from January 2019 to January 2020. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the factors related to the presence of TDs. Results: A total of 111 patients were eligible and TDs were present in 31 of them (28%). In the univariate analysis, male gender (p = 0.027), tumor size ≥ 5cm (p = ≤0.001), ser...
