Case ReportsAnaphylactic shock in a female patient due to a spontaneous rupture of a hepatic hydatid cyst: a case report.
A 27-year-old female patient, a refugee from Bosnia and Herzegovina, was admitted to our hospital in a state of shock. She developed an anaphylactic reaction. ⋯ An emergency operative procedure was performed and in the postoperative period she was treated conservatively with albendazol during the next two months. There was no recurrence of the disease.

Subtotal resection of the head of the pancreas preserving duodenum and vessels of pancreatic arcade.
We reported a procedure of duodenum-preserving subtotal pancreatectomy of the pancreas according to the precise anatomy of the pancreatoduodenal region, especially of the pancreaticoduodenal arteries which provide blood to the duodenum. After a complete Kocher's maneuver is performed, the pancreas is cut above the portal vein and removed from the third portion of the duodenum, followed by the removal of the posterior surface of the pancreas head from a connective tissue membrane. The main pancreatic duct is identified at its junction with the terminal portion of the bile duct from the posterior surface of the head of the pancreas and is cut at the junction. ⋯ The reason we leave the part of the pancreas between the auodenum, ASPD and the common bile duct is that the artery toward the papilla of Vater runs along the right side of the common bile duct and would be difficult to be preserved with the removal of this part of the pancreas. The most important techniques of this procedure is to keep the connective tissue membrane of the posterior surface of the pancreas intact so as to preserve pancreaticoduodenal arteries and veins. Benign lesions as well as lowgrade malignancy of the head of the pancreas may be possible indications for this procedure.

The large bowel is injured in about 10% of penetrated abdominal injuries. Primary repair with colostomy has been discussed recently. ⋯ Primary repair or, if necessary, segmentary resection and anastomosis will be more appropriate in civilian colon injuries.

The role of ultrasonographic percutaneous cholecystostomy in treatment of acute cholecystitis.
The Authors propose ultrasonographic percutaneous cholecystostomy in the treatment of acute cholecystitis. ⋯ The cholecystostomy interrupted the natural history of the disease and has a low morbidity and mortality. It is an effective and rationale contribution to the treatment of the acute cholecystitis.

Case ReportsA new method of duodenum-preserving subtotal resection of the head of the pancreas based on the surgical anatomy.
Duodenum-preserving resection of the head of the pancreas has been performed for benign and, sometimes, malignant diseases of the pancreas. We propose a new procedure of duodenum-preserving subtotal pancreatectomy of the pancreas according to the precise anatomy of the pancreatoduodenal region, especially of the pancreaticoduodenal arteries which provide blood to the duodenum. ⋯ Benign lesions as well as low-grade malignancy of the head of the pancreas may possibly be the indication of this procedure.
