Abstract
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.
