Central pancreatectomy preserves pancreatic function but has high complication rates, including pancreatic fistula. This suggests selective use is warranted, balancing benefits against risks.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pancreatic Surgery

Background:

  • Central pancreatectomy is a limited pancreatic resection preserving distal organs.
  • It aims to reduce postoperative endocrine and exocrine dysfunction.
  • However, high rates of pancreatic fistula have been reported.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utilization and outcomes of central pancreatectomy.
  • To assess the incidence of complications and functional deficits after this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Review of a prospective pancreatic cancer database.
  • Analysis of 10 central pancreatectomy cases over 13 years.
  • Evaluation of postoperative complications and long-term functional outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Central pancreatectomy was performed in 10 patients over 13 years.
  • 60% experienced postoperative complications, including 30% with pancreatic fistula.
  • No procedure-related mortality occurred.
  • Long-term follow-up showed minimal endocrine or exocrine insufficiency.

Conclusions:

  • The morbidity associated with central pancreatectomy may outweigh its benefits.
  • Selective application is recommended, particularly when pancreatic preservation is critical.
  • Further research into optimizing this technique is needed.
