Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Surgical oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • The role of minimally invasive surgery in pancreatic surgery remains debated, with limited centers reporting successful laparoscopic pancreatic resections.
  • Indications and outcomes for laparoscopic pancreatic procedures are still controversial.
  • A novel laparoscopic approach was developed for neuroendocrine tumors located in the neck of the pancreas.

Observation:

  • A central laparoscopic pancreatic resection was successfully executed.
  • The procedure utilized a harmonic scalpel for pancreatic transection.
  • Intracorporeal pancreaticojejunostomy was performed using a Roux-en-Y loop.

Findings:

  • Histological analysis confirmed a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor.

  • The operation lasted 330 minutes with 300 mL of blood loss.
  • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery.

    • Implications:

    • Laparoscopic central pancreatectomy is a feasible and safe surgical option.
    • This minimally invasive approach provides adequate treatment for selected pancreatic conditions.
    • Successful implementation necessitates highly skilled laparoscopic surgeons.
