Hand-assisted laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy combined with laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with early gastric cancer: Report of a case

摘要

IntroductionIn a distal pancreatectomy combined with a distal gastrectomy, the splenic artery and vein must be conserved. However, it is not easy in pure laparoscopic surgery. We performed a hand-assisted laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (HALS-SPDP) combined with a laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) for the treatment of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) with early gastric cancer.
