Jejunogastric intussusception associated with jejunojejunal intussusception (double telescoping) occurring 20 years after gastrojejunostomy
ConclusionRetrograde jejunogastric intussusception is challenging to diagnose and treat due to its rarity and lack of understanding of its causes. Imaging techniques and endoscopy play important roles in diagnosis, while surgery remains the primary treatment option. Vigilance is necessary among medical professionals to consider JGI in cases of acute abdominal pain and vomiting following gastric surgery, allowing for prompt diagnosis and intervention to prevent bowel necrosis. Further research is needed to establish optimal surgical strategies and evaluate recurrence rates. (Source: International Journal of Emergency Medicine)

Impact of a non-therapeutic laparotomy in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer treated with induction (m)FOLFIRINOX: Trans-Atlantic Pancreatic Surgery (TAPS) Consortium study
CONCLUSION: More than a quarter of surgically explored patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer after induction (m)FOLFIRINOX did not undergo a resection. Such non-therapeutic laparotomy does not appear to substantially impact oncological outcomes.PMID:38456678 | PMC:PMC10921832 | DOI:10.1093/bjs/znae033 (Source: The British Journal of Surgery)
