“…4,15,16,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] Historically, surgical intervention following medical management was commonly performed to diagnose and treat acute pancreatic necrosis. 38 Procedures for surgical intervention included partial pancreatectomies, peripancreatic lavage and drainage, pancreatic abscess drainage, and relief of biliary obstruction. 38 Recently, improvements in noninvasive imaging and interventional therapeutic techniques have caused a shift away from surgical intervention.…”

“…38 Procedures for surgical intervention included partial pancreatectomies, peripancreatic lavage and drainage, pancreatic abscess drainage, and relief of biliary obstruction. 38 Recently, improvements in noninvasive imaging and interventional therapeutic techniques have caused a shift away from surgical intervention. These minimally invasive interventional therapeutic procedures include percutaneous or endoscopic drainage (peripancreatic fluid collections, pseudocysts, and abscesses), laparoscopic debridement, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and biliary sphincterotomy, and selective angiography and catheter-directed embolization of acute pancreatitisrelated bleeding complications.…”

“…Given that 60–70 per cent of pancreatic cancers arise in the head, pancreaticoduodenectomy is by far the most common operation carried out for pancreatic cancer. In 1944, Watson reported pancreaticoduodenectomy for ampullary carcinoma 31 . The modern pylorus‐preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) was popularized by Traverso and Longmire 32,33 .…”

Treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is still a great challenge to the surgeon. Although recent investigation and treatment protocols have redefined the limits of resectability and adjuvant care, survival outcome still remains dismally low. Because surgical resection of localized disease remains the only hope for curing pancreatic adenocarcinoma, all advances in diagnostic imaging and perioperative care have been aimed at improving the surgical outcome. In the present article, we discuss new developments and the existing controversies in the diagnosis, staging, determination of resectability, and the progress in surgical technique, palliation and, importantly, adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy, and highlight the latest standard of care wherever possible. Where consensus is lacking, available literature is discussed to narrow the debate and provide a working formula for the readers at large. It is finally understood that for the best outcome, treatment should be tailored to the patient. Although surgical outcome improves in expert hands, the overall survival remains poor irrespective of centres.

The role of the surgeon in the evolution of flexible endoscopy

Several cultures, including the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Arabs, made attempts to view accessible human body cavities using a variety of instruments such as spatulas and specula. The first endoscope was created in 1806 when Phillip Bozzini, a German-born urologist, constructed the lichtleiter, which used concave mirrors to reflect candlelight through an open tube into the esophagus, bladder, or rectum. Maximilian Carl-Friedrich Nitze, another German urologist, produced the first usable cystoscope in 1877 by using series of lenses to increase magnification. He was also the first to place light inside the organ of interest to aid visualization. In 1880 Mikulicz made the first gastroscope using a system similar to Nitze's cystoscope. Modern endoscopy was born with the introduction of the fiberoptic endoscope in the late 1950s. Over the ensuing 50 years endoscopy revolutionized many aspects of the surgeon's practice. Endoscopy can now be used to diagnose and often treat gastrointestinal cancer, hemorrhage, obstruction, and inflammatory conditions. This review was initiated by the SAGES Flexible Endoscopy Committee to chronicle the role of the surgeon in the development and introduction of flexible endoscopy into clinical practice, historically and in contemporary surgery. Flexible endoscopy evolved out of surgeons' need to overcome diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. There have been many recent technological advances that facilitate endoluminal therapies, and flexible endoscopy is now traversing new ground. Surgeons have been major contributors in the development of all aspects of endoscopy. There is a continually expanding list of therapeutic options available to patients. The difficult questions of which procedure, on which patient, and when can be answered best by the surgeon versed in endoscopic, laparoscopic, and open surgical techniques.
