Feasibility of laparoscopic distal spleno-pancreatectomy following previous necrosectomy. A case report.

چکیده
CONTEXT In recent years, laparoscopic approach to distal pancreatectomy has been increasingly favoured following several reports showing reductions in morbidity and hospital stay compared with open surgery. Previous major abdominal surgery is a relative contraindication for most laparoscopic procedures including distal pancreatectomy. CASE REPORT We present a case of a young woman in whom we attempted and accomplished safely, a laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy despite having had major pancreatic necrosectomy and discuss the feasibility of this approach. CONCLUSION It is possible to perform complex laparoscopic pancreatic resections safely in centres with special interest and expertise.

Ches...

The pancreatic surgeons need to consider patients’ quality of life when treating benign and borderline malignant tumor of the pancreas because the patients’ long-term survival is highly expected following successful pancreatectomy. Ideally, function-preserving minimally invasive surgery is thought to be quite adequate approach for them. Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) or extended distal pancreatec...

CONTEXT Pancreatic injuries caused by blunt trauma are often treated conservatively, except for the highest grades of these. CASE REPORT We report a case of complete transection of the distal pancreas in a young adult which was successfully managed by spleen-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy followed by an islet autotransplantation in the patient's forearm striated muscle. CONCL...
