Introduction Hepatic hematoma is a rare but possible complication of ERCP. We describe the case of a 75-year old man with a large, 8 × 12 cm, sub-capsular and intra-parenchymal hematoma post ERCP, affecting the right liver segments and treated conservatively.
Introduction
The aetiology of pain after laparoscopic donor nephrectomy remains unclear. Given the
proximity of the left kidney to the tail of the pancreas, we aimed to assess whether mobilisation
and retrieval of the left kidney might inflame the pancreas, leading to pain and
hyperamylasaemia in the post-operative period.
Patient and methods
In the present study, 16 consecutive live kidney donors were analysed in the same three months
period. Amylase levels were measured on days 1 and 2. For each 24-hour period postoperatively
The prevalence of sporadic duodenal polyps is estimated to be 0.3%-4.6% in patients referred for an upper endoscopy. Most of patients are asymptomatic (66-80%) at the time of diagnosis though bleeding, anemia and abdominal pain are the most commonly reported symptoms. These are related to the polyp's size, location and histological characteristics.
