    Abstract Introduction: Benign lesions of the liver are very common findings, usually randomly discovered, especially during examinations for other indications. The frequent use of imaging modalities may be responsible for the statistical increase in the incidence of these findings.
    Case presentation: In this publication, we present the cases of 2 female patients with benign liver lesions, the occurrence of which is considered rare, and only a few dozen cases have been described worldwide. In both cases, clinical symptoms, diagnostic approach, and surgical treatment are presented.
    Conclusion: Due to increasing availability of imaging methods, the occurrence of previously considered rare benign liver lesions increases as well. In many cases, the malignant potential of these findings remains unclear. Decision-making process should include a multidisciplinary board.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to define the values of percutaneous ultrasound shear-wave and strain elastography of the pancreas in healthy volunteers.
    Methods: This is a single-center prospective study conducted on volunteers who underwent examination of percutaneous point shear‑wave elastography and strain elastography. Both the shear-wave speed (Vs) and strain histogram were measured 3 times and median values were evaluated. Relevant recorded clinical data were age, sex, and height.
    Results:  From May 2020 to October 2021 a total of 90 patients (21 male, 69 female) were included in the study. Their average age was 26 years (from 22 to 65). The average SWM in kPa was 6.07 (2.58-17.29). The average value of SE was 134.44 (78.51-184.35). Most of the patients had BMI in the range of normal weight with an average value of 22.75 (17.5-28). The average depth of the localization of the pancreas was 4.5 cm. The effect of BMI on the strain histogram was significant (p < 0.05). We found a significant relationship between the strain histogram and the depth of localization of the pancreas (p < 0.01).
    Conclusion:  We described normal values for pancreatic stiffness using ultrasound elastography by 2D-SWE and strain elastography. Our results indicate changes in values depending on BMI and depth of the pancreas. (Tab. 1, Fig. 5, Ref. 19).

    Abstract Ntroduction: Distal pancreatectomy is a standard surgical procedure for selected benign, premalignant, and malignant lesions localized in the pancreatic body or tail. Surgical resection remains the only curative option for patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
    Patients and methods: Perioperative and postoperative clinical courses were retrospectively assessed in patients, who underwent distal pancreatectomy during the 2011‒2021 period.
    Results: During the 2011‒2021 period, a total of 112 distal pancreatectomies were performed. 67 patients (59.8%) underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, and 45 patients (40.2%) open laparotomy. The conversion was necessary for 13 patients (11.6%). Distal pancreatectomies performed laparoscopically were associated more often with biochemical leak and the development of grade B fistula, on the other hand grade C fistula developed only in patients operated by open laparotomy (LPT). The mean operating time was slightly longer in the laparoscopic group (227.1 min vs 214.6 min). The mean estimated blood loss was significantly higher in the LPT group (540.4 ml vs 191.9 ml). The mean hospitalization time was slightly longer in the LPT group (11.8 days vs 9.3 days). The rates of early reoperations were comparable between both groups (6 vs 5).
    Conclusion: Laparoscopic techniques are preferred in centers around the world to bring patients benefits by using a minimally invasive approach. These techniques are also preferred in our center, in nearly 60% of all distal pancreatectomies performed during 10 years, but on the other hand, there is a much more careful approach chosen in cases of malignant disease to achieve adequate radicality (Tab.4, Ref. 20).

    Abstract Introduction: Enterocutaneous fistula is defined as an abnormal connection between the gastrointestinal tract and the skin. In addition to the early recognition and treatment of sepsis, nutritional support, wound management, the adequate replacement of lost fluids with a properly set and timely rehydration treatment, together with the control of fistula production represent the first steps in treatment management.
    Material and methods: The authors present an overview of oral rehydration therapy, describing the properties and effects of individual solutions on fistula. The absorption of fluids and electrolytes into the gastrointestinal tract is performed by the group of sodium-dependent glucose cotransporters (sodium-glucose linked transporter, SGLT1).
    Discussion: The water and electrolyte absorption mechanisms described in the article can be used in the treatment of a patient with a high fistula. The amount of administered hypotonic fluids (water, tea) should not exceed 500 ml/day. The remaining volume, depending on fistula loss, must be supplemented with isoosmolar fluids. With a good tolerance of oral rehydration solutions and compliance with the other steps of treatment, it is possible to remain on oral intake during the entire duration of treatment without the need to prohibit it completely, thus improving the patient's overall comfort.
    Conclusion: Reducing the intake of hypotonic fluids (tap water, tea) and administering an isotonic solution help to reduce the production of the fistula, thereby contributing to its spontaneous closure.
