Summary

Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is a feasible minimally invasive approach for pancreatic tumors. This technique offers benefits for the early postoperative period, making it a viable alternative for benign and semimalign pancreatic conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery for pancreatic diseases has evolved from staging to resection.
  • Laparoscopic pyloric preserving duodeno-pancreatectomy presented challenges, limiting its establishment.
  • Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is more feasible due to simpler anastomoses.

Observation:

  • Four cases of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy were performed for various pancreatic tumors.
  • Splenectomy was required in three cases.
  • One patient underwent concomitant laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery (DOR) for GERD.

Findings:

  • Histological diagnoses included neuroendocrine carcinoma, serous-microcystic adenoma, ductal adenocarcinoma, and intraductal papillary-mucinous tumor (borderline).

  • Postoperative stays ranged from 8 to 10 days.
  • No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed in any patient.

    • Implications:

    • Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy demonstrates the advantages of minimally invasive surgery in the early postoperative recovery.
    • This approach presents an attractive alternative for managing benign and semimalign pancreatic tumors.
    • Further research into laparoscopic techniques for pancreatic resections is warranted.
