    • In Duodenum, MC in 1st partQ
  13. Boundaries of Passaro’s Triangle

    • • Junction of 2nd and 3rd part of duodenumQ
    • • Junction of neck and body of pancreas
  14. MC presenting symptoms in ZES?
    Abdominal painQ
  15. Unique characteristic of acid-induced diarrhea?
    Halted by nasogastric aspiration of gastric secretionsQ
  16. MC cause of death in ZES?
    Liver metastasisQ
  17. Serum gastrin level in gastrinoma?
    • • 100% patients will have a fasting serum gastrin level >100 pg/mL
    • • Secretin Provocation Test: An increase of >200 pg/mL in the gastrin value after administration of secretin is diagnosticQ
  18. Basic acid output in Gastrinoma?
    • • BAO >15 meq/hr in most patients and >5 mEq/hr in patients with prior surgery to decrease gastric acid secretion
    • • Levels >1000 pg/mL are diagnosticQ
  19. ZES in MEN-1, Management?
    Hyperparathyroidism should be treated first because it can complicate the management of their gastrinoma, neck exploration should be performed before resection of gastrinomaQ.
  20. Treatment of Gastrinoma?
    • Distal pancreatectomy: Gastrinoma involving body or tailQ of pancreas
    • Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Gastrinoma involving headQ of pancreas
  21. Classic presentation of glucagonoma?
    4Ds: Diabetes, dermatitis, DVT, and depression.
  22. What is Necrolytic erythema migrans?
    The characteristic rash occur in areas of friction; rash is migratory, red, and scaling, associated with intense pruritusQ
  23. Localization of NET of Pancreas?
    Somatostatin receptors
  24. MC presenting symptom in VIPoma?
    Profuse, watery, iso-osmotic secretary diarrhea
  25. Diagnostic triad of VIPoma?
    Secretary diarrhea + High levels of circulating VIP + Pancreatic tumorQ, Characterized by Hypokalemia, hypercalcemia, hypochlorhydria and hyperglycemiaQ.
  26. Treatment of VIPoma?
    • Aggressive preoperative hydration and correction of electrolyte abnormalities and acid-base disturbancesQ.
    • Octreotide is commonly used preperatively to reduce diarrhea volume and facilitate fluid and electrolyte replacement.
    • Resection is the treatment of choice for VIPomas, glucagonomas, somatostatinomas, and nonfunctional pancreatic NET and remains the only curative optionQ.
  27. Most common site of neuroendocrine tumor of pancreasjQuery110109881647237234255_1505477652189
    • Gastrinoma - Duodenum (1st part) >PancreasQ
    • Insulinoma - Equally distributedQ in head, body and tail
    • Glucagonoma - Body and TailQ
    • Somatostatinoma and PPoma - HeadQ
    • VIPoma - TailQ
    • All pancreatic cancers and neoplastic cysts are most common in pancreatic head except:
    • • Mucinous cystic neoplasm and Glucagonoma: MC in body and tailQ
    • • VIPoma: MC in TailQ
    • • Insulinoma: Equally distributedQ in head, body and tail
  28. MC congenital anomaly of the pancreasQ?
    Pancreas Divisum - ductal systems of the dorsal and ventral pancreatic duct fail to fuseQ
  29. Treatment of pancreatic divisum?
    • • Operative dorsal duct sphincterotomy, with or without sphincteroplastyQ, is the preferred surgical treatment.
    • • Patients with pancreas divisum and acute recurrent pancreatitis are good candidates for endoscopic therapyQ whereas patients with chronic pancreatitis or chronic pain alone (or both) do not appear to do as well.
  30. Annular Pancreas involves which part of duodenum?
    2nd part of the duodenumQ
  31. Treatment of choice for annular pancreas?
    • DuodenoduodenostomyQ >Duodenojejunostomy.
    • Duodenoduodenostomy has replaced duodenojejunostomy as the treatment of choice because it has a lower incidence of postoperative complications, particularly obstruction and blind-loop syndromesQ.
  32. MC segment of the pancreas affected in pancreatic trauma?
    BodyQ
  33. MC mechanism of pancreatic injury in adults and children?
    • Adults - Penetrating injuries into the abdomen are the MC injuries seen in adultsQ
    • Children - Abdominal blunt traumaQ. Direct compression of the epigastrium against the vertebral column and a blunt object (handlebar) is typically seen after bicycle injuriesQ.
  34. Most reliable test to demonstrate pancreatic duct integrityQ?
    ERCP
  35. Treatment of pancreatic injury?
    • Major pancreatic resections in stable patients with isolated pancreatic injuryQ.
    • Damage control surgery is indicated for complex injuries or unstable patientsQ.
  36. MC complication after pancreatic traumaQ?
    A persistent drain output or pancreatic fistula
  37. MC common site of ectopic pancreas?
    Walls of the stomachQ, duodenumQ, or ileum, in a Meckels diverticulumQ, or at the umbilicusQ
  38. Cells of pancreas and their secretion?
    • Alpha cells - Glucagon, glicentinQ, pancreastatinQ
    • Beta cells - Insulin, amylinQ, pancreastatinQ
    • D cells - Somatostatin
    • D2 cells - VIP
    • G cells - Gastrin
    • PP cells - Pancreatic polypeptide
