To preserve pancreatic endocrine and exocrine function, various types of pancreatic resection, including central pancreatectomy, have been introduced as less invasive surgeries. However, postoperative pancreatic leakage has been demonstrated to be the most frequent complication following pancreas-preserving surgery. The authors' new surgical technique, a jejunal wall-covering method, helps to p...

BACKGROUND Central pancreatectomy is an alternative technique for benign or low-grade malignant tumors. Laparoscopic central pancreatectomy has been rarely performed, with only 48 cases reported in the English literature. The aim of this paper was to review all published cases together with 3 cases from our institution. METHODS All published articles indexed on PubMed were included. Terms use...

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...

BACKGROUND The feasibility of binding pancreaticogastrostomy in laparoscopic central pancreatectomy is not known. METHODS In October 2011, a female patient with a pancreatic neck mass received laparoscopic central pancreatectomy with binding pancreaticogastrostomy. RESULTS The operation was successful. No complications occurred. The operative time was 210 min. Blood loss was 120 ml. On day ...

Background: Isolated pancreatic metastases of other neoplasms are an uncommon pathology, particularly with a colo-rectal cancer origin. Surgery represents the single hope for a long-term survival in these patients, but most of the previously reported patients in the literature underwent standard pancreatic resections. A central pancreatectomy is a non-standardized pancreatic resection, which wa...

The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the technological viability, basic safety and consequence of central pancreatectomy (CP) with pancreaticogastrostomy in properly chosen sufferers with noncancerous central pancreatic pathology. This research is centered on the infirmary charts of West China hospital. We recruited 20 individuals from 2007 to 2009 diagnosed with benign cancerous growth...

The clinical usefulness of organ-preserving pancreatectomy is not well established due to technical difficulty and ambiguity of functional merit. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of organ-preserving pancreatectomy such as duodenum-preserving resection of the head of the pancreas (DPRHP), pancreatic head resection with segmental duodenectomy (PHRSD), central pancrea...
