摘要

Introduction

This report with a video describes a laparoscopic central pancreatectomy with modified Blumgart pancreatojejunostomy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.

Patients and Methods

A 71-year-old woman presented with a single 17 mm lesion in the pancreatic neck, responsible for dilatation of the main pancreatic duct. Cancer staging showed no additional location. Somatostatin receptor imaging was positive. After a multidisciplinary discussion in the French national reference network for the management of neuroendocrine tumor (RENATEN) surgery with central pancreatectomy was decided.

Results

The operation time was 320 min and the estimated blood loss was less than 100 ml. Final pathology confirmed a pancreatic NET of 13 mm staged as T1 N0 M0 R0 G1 with a Ki-67 of 2%. After lymph node dissection, five nodes were analyzed and were found to be noninvaded. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Conclusions

Laparoscopic central pancreatectomy is an excellent alternative for sparing pancreatic parenchyma.
