Feeding Difficulties
Patients with preoperative GERD with feeding difficulties and RAD had a higher risk of developing postoperative pancreatitis. Postoperative pancreatitis causes delays in feeding and increases the duration of hospitalization. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastric Lavage
We included systematic gastric lavages in a complex of medical actions by cold solution of soda (2 — 3 times a day), enteroclyses in the form of siphon enemas. Perinephric novocainic and lumbar blockade (a zone of an abdominal brain) are useful. [infomeds.net]

Epigastric Pain
A 76-year-old woman was admitted complaining of epigastric pain lasting for several days. Duodenoscopy revealed a soft cystic-mass-like lesion covered with normal mucosa above the ampulla of Vater ([ Fig. 1 ]). [eref.thieme.de]
Twelve days after the surgery, she was readmitted with complaints of severe epigastric pain and vomiting for the previous 3 days. On examination, the patient was afebrile, with heart rate 98/min and blood pressure 100/60 mm Hg. [acgcasereports.gi.org]
The predominant clinical symptom of patients with chronic pancreatitis is epigastric pain, which is sometimes difficult to manage by medication. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

Three consecutive CytoSorb treatment sessions of 23 hours each over a total period of 72 hours, separated from one another by a pause interval of 1 hours Cytosorb was used in conjunction with CRRT (machine Baxter BM11a/BM14) run in CVVHF mode Blood flow [cytosorb-therapy.com]

Prognosis
Prognosis is poor and lethality is high and, consequently, the gastric or biliary operations involving the papilla of Vater or its region should be performed with particular caution. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
