Abstract:
Objective To investigate the feasibility of spleen-and splenic vessels-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for the treatment of pancreatic cystic tumor of body and tail.Methods The clinical data of a female patient with pancreatic cystic tumor of body and tail who was admitted to the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of the Sun Yat-Sen University in March 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Spleen-and splenic vesselspreserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy was determined as the optimal therapeutic method according to the physical examination and the results of computered tomography scan.Laparoscopic or open operation combined with distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy would be carried out as a candidate choice once it is hard to separate the splenic artery and vein from distal pancreas or to control the serious vessels hemorrhage.The patient was followed up by outpatient examination every 1 to 3 months up to March 2015.Results Spleen-and splenic vessels-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy was finished successfully.The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss were 192 minutes and 50 mL,respectively.The patient took out-of-bed for activity at postoperative day 1 without complications.The multiple severe microcystic pancreatic adenoma was confirmed by postoperative pathological examination,with a maximum diameter of 3.5cm.The leakage tube was removed at postoperative day 5.The levels of serum amylase at postoperative day 1,3,5 were normal.The patient was discharged at postoperative day 8 and got regular follow-up without bleeding,pancreatic fistula,infection and a symptom of epigastric pain or discomfort.Conclusion Spleen-and splenic vessels-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy has advantages of less traumas,faster postoperative recovery and a preservation of normal splenic function,deserving clinical application.
