This protocol presents a method for performing a parenchymal sparing robotic-assisted lateral pancreaticojejunostomy intended for appropriately selected patients with a pancreatic duct obstruction without significant inflammation of the pancreatic head. This article demonstrates critical aspects of the operation in a minimally invasive, robotic fashion to treat recurrent acute/chronic pancreatitis.

Acid Mine Drainage

2026
Mining activities that disturb sulfide-rich rocks, particularly those containing pyrite (FeS₂), initiate a cascade of geochemical and microbiological processes with serious environmental implications. When exposed to air and water, pyrite undergoes oxidation, releasing sulfate, ultimately forming sulfuric acid and mobilizing heavy metals into surrounding water systems. This phenomenon, known as acid mine drainage (AMD), results in low pH waters laden with toxic elements that threaten aquatic...

This video describes the procedure for the generation of a mouse model with acute biliary pancreatitis via pancreatic infusion of sodium taurocholate. This model helps study pathophysiological changes induced by sodium taurocholate in the pancreas.
FAQs
Redirecting accumulated pancreatic secretions or other fluid reduces pressure within or around the pancreas. This can help control leakage, limit the persistence of infected material, and create conditions that support tissue healing. The clinical benefit depends on addressing the underlying problem, such as inflammation, obstruction, duct disruption, or a pancreatic fluid collection.
The access route determines where clinicians place the catheter or stent and how the material leaves the affected area. Endoscopic access can direct drainage into the stomach or intestine, while percutaneous access can connect the collection to an external system. Surgical access provides another option when less invasive approaches are unsuitable.
Drainage may be considered for pseudocysts, walled-off necrosis, duct disruption, and selected cases of obstructive pancreatitis. These conditions differ in the material requiring removal or redirection and in the way normal flow has been disturbed. Matching the intervention to the underlying problem helps clinicians target pressure, infection, or leakage rather than treating symptoms alone.
Clinicians first identify the fluid, secretion, or obstructed pathway requiring treatment and select an endoscopic, percutaneous, or surgical route. They then establish access and place a catheter or stent when appropriate. The device directs material into the stomach, intestine, or an external collection system, allowing the clinical team to manage the affected area.
Pancreatic drainage can guide treatment when a collection, leakage, or obstructed flow requires decompression or control but does not immediately require extensive surgery. Its use is selective and depends on the clinical problem and the available access route. In appropriate cases, drainage may limit the need for more invasive surgical management.
Successful drainage can reduce symptoms by relieving pressure, help control infection or pancreatic leakage, and support healing of injured tissue. It may also provide a way to manage fluid collections while treatment proceeds. The procedure is therefore both therapeutic and informative, because the response can help guide subsequent care for the underlying pancreatic disorder.
