Journal of Gastroenterology Research and Liver Diseases https://jgld.sciforce.org/JGLD <p>Navigating the World of Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases: About Journal of Gastroenterology Research and Liver Diseases (JGLD) by Sciforce Publications</p> <p>Embark on a journey into the realm of gastroenterology, hepatology, and liver disease research with the Journal of Gastroenterology Research and Liver Diseases (JGLD), a distinguished publication by Sciforce Publications. JGLD serves as a guiding light for the latest research, innovations, and advancements in the fields of gastroenterology and liver diseases, offering insights into digestive health, hepatological disorders, and the dynamic world of gastrointestinal medicine. In this "About Us" section, we will provide an overview of JGLD, its mission, and its commitment to advancing knowledge in gastroenterology and hepatology.</p> Sciforce en-US Journal of Gastroenterology Research and Liver Diseases Three-dimensional reconstruction simulation assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy forpancreatic head carcinoma in a patient with situs inversus totalis: Report of a rare case https://jgld.sciforce.org/JGLD/article/view/132 <p>Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital malformation that refers to a complete reversal of the thoracic and abdominal viscera. An extremely small number of SIT patients with pancreatic head cancer have been reported. Surgical procedures in patients with SIT are more complicated and technically difficult due to the rearrangement of anatomical structures. Adequate and meticulous preoperative assessment of tumor regional anatomy, potential cardiovascular anomalies, and aberrant blood vessels by imaging examinations is critical for facilitating the safe and effective performance of the surgery. The current study reports the case of a 69-year-old female with pancreatic head cancer and SIT, and first focuses on the application of 3D reconstruction simulation assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with SIT. Based on the data of CT images, we reconstructed a real-time 3D simulation model with Myrian XP to assist with our surgical planning. Then, we performed smoothly PD with complete resection of the tumor. The patient was discharged without any serious complications. Follow-up has been 2 years and the patient is doing well with no recurrences.</p> Xingjian Zhang Copyright (c) 2021 Journal of Gastroenterology Research and Liver Diseases 2021-10-15 2021-10-15 1 1 1 8
