Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms are a kind of potential malignant neoplasms originating from pancreatic neuroendocrine cells with high heterogeneity and good biological behavior and prognosis. Surgical treatment is considered to be the most important and the only way to cure pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms, but there are still many controversies on the treatment. Not only the nature, volume, location, number, invasion of surrounding organs and blood vessels, lymph nodes and distant metastasis of the tumor should be fully evaluated, but also the risk of pancreatic surgery and patients’ own conditions should be taken into account. In this paper, the progress of surgical treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in recent years is reviewed.

Pancreatic surgery is an important specialty in the field of general surgery. As the anatomical location of pancreas is deeply and complex, and the diseases of pancreatic surgery is various kinds of and serious with high difficulty in surgery, the development of pancreatic surgery is slowly in the past. In the recent 20 years, with the deepening of basic and clinical researches in related fields, researchers' cognition of pancreatic diseases has gradually deepened. A series of new con-cepts and techniques have been applied to pancreatic surgery, making pancreatic surgery enter a rapid development stage. At the same time, researchers also recognize that the existing medical concepts and technical means are not sufficient to solve all clinical problems. Therefore, the cancer of pancreatic surgery in China can be alive and flourishing by grasping the opportunities, making continuous exploration and innovation.
