The 400th pancreatectomy was recently performed at ISMETT. The patient was a 38-year-old woman from Malta<\/strong> who had been diagnosed with a pancreas body tumor of 5 cm, with portal vein infiltration. For this reason, her doctors in Malta referred her, as in several other cases over the past year, to ISMETT\u2019s Abdominal Surgery and Organ Transplantation Unit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe surgical procedure consisted in a total pancreatectomy, with the replacement of the portal vein and the superior mesenteric vein through the interposition of a venous segment procured from an organ donor with a compatible blood type,\u201d said <strong>Salvatore Gruttadauria, MD<\/strong>, Head of ISMETT\u2019s Abdominal Surgery and Organ Transplantation Unit. \u201cThe patient was discharged ten days after surgery; she is well now and continuing her rehabilitation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Four hundred pancreatic resections, over 1,050 liver resections, and almost 1,100 liver transplants are just some of the numbers of ISMETT\u2019s abdominal surgery activity<\/strong>. ISMETT has now become a center of reference for abdominal surgery in the Mediterranean Basin. Last year, ISMETT treated patients from Serbia, Cyprus, Malta, as well as other Italian regions, <strong>with 2% of surgical procedures performed on non-Sicilian patients<\/strong>. The high level of quality and excellence of the results achieved by ISMETT was certified in 2016 by AGENAS, the Italian National Agency for Regional Health Care Services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISMETT increasingly becoming a reference point in the Mediterranean for hepato-bilio-pancreatic surgery ISMETT, Istituto Mediterraneo per i Trapianti e Terapie [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2354,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Maltese Patient Undergoes ISMETT\u2019s 400th Pancreatectomy | ISMETT<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Everything about &quot;Maltese Patient Undergoes ISMETT\u2019s 400th Pancreatectomy&quot; at ISMETT.
