• Early detection of anastomotic leakage after pancreatoduodenectomy with microdialysis catheters: an observational Study 

      Lindholm, Espen; Bergmann, Gisli Björn; Haugaa, Håkon; Labori, Knut Jørgen; Yaqub, Sheraz; Bjørnbeth, Bjørn Atle; Line, Pål-Dag; Grindheim, Guro; Kjøsen, Gisle; Pischke, Søren Erik; Tønnessen, Tor Inge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background Microdialysis catheters can detect focal inflammation and ischemia, and thereby have a potential for early detection of anastomotic leakages after pancreatoduodenectomy. The aim was to investigate whether ...
    • First Experience With Rectus Sheath Block for Postoperative Analgesia After Pancreas Transplant: A Retrospective Observational Study 

      Hausken, John; Rydenfelt, Kristina Elisabeth; Horneland, Rune; Ullensvang, Kyrre; Kjøsen, Gisle; Tønnessen, Tor Inge; Haugaa, Håkon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Background Standard of care for postoperative analgesia after pancreas transplant has been thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA). A high incidence of venous graft thrombosis necessitated a change to a more aggressive ...
    • Microdialysis and CO2 sensors detect pancreatic ischemia in a porcine model 

      Rydenfelt, Kristina Elisabeth; Strand-Amundsen, Runar James; Horneland, Rune; Hødnebø, Stina; Kjøsen, Gisle; Pischke, Soeren; Tønnessen, Tor Inge; Haugaa, Håkon (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background: Pancreatic transplantation is associated with a high rate of early postoperative graft thrombosis. If a thrombosis is detected in time, a potentially graft-saving intervention can be initiated. Current postoperative ...
    • Validating the US pancreas donor risk index in a Norwegian population, a retrospective observational study 

      Kjøsen, Gisle; Horneland, Rune; Nordheim, Espen; Aandahl, Einar Martin; Line, Pål Dag; Rydenfelt, Kristina Elisabeth; Jenssen, Trond Geir; Tønnessen, Tor Inge; Haugaa, Håkon (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      OBJECTIVES Despite advances in immunosuppression and surgical technique, pancreas transplantation is still associated with a significant graft loss rate. The Pancreas Donor Risk Index (PDRI) is a pre-transplant scoring ...
