Do high drain amylase and lipase values predict post-operative pancreatitis for choledochal cyst?
It was indicated that amylase and lipase values in drainage at 1 POD could be effective predictors of post-operative pancreatitis after CEHE.
The ex vivo technique of SLN mapping for colon cancer is feasible. In the current study, SLN results were concordant with non-SLNs in the majority of patients. Furthermore, this technique may have upstaged 2 (12%) patients. Whether this ultimately will affect overall survival has yet to be determined.
