Reimplantation of the ampulla of Vater after total pancreatectomy for nesidioblastosis. 1978

V N Ortiz, and G M Haase, and J F Sotos, and H W Clatworthy

Total pancreatectomy is often required to control hypoglycemic seizures in infants with nesidioblastosis. If duodenal devascularization results, reconstruction is difficult because standard biliary-intestinal anastomoses may reflux, or, in infants, become strictured. Therefore, surgeons are loath to perform such procedures. To avoid these complications, the common bile duct and the ampulla of Vater were implanted into the reconstructed duodenum.

D007516	Adenoma, Islet Cell	A benign tumor of the pancreatic ISLET CELLS. Usually it involves the INSULIN-producing PANCREATIC BETA CELLS, as in INSULINOMA, resulting in HYPERINSULINISM.

D009336	Necrosis	The death of cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury or failure of the blood supply.
D010180	Pancreatectomy	Surgical removal of the pancreas. (Dorland, 28th ed)	Pancreatectomies
D010190	Pancreatic Neoplasms	Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
