Abstract:Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreantectomy in treatment of pancreatic solid-cystic tumor in young and middle-aged patients.Method 30 patients with pancreatic solid-cystic tumor received totally laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreantectomy, the data on operative time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative time to get out of bed, time of first flatus, postoperative hospital stay, complication, pathological type, and postoperative follow-up were collected and analyzed retrospectively.Result All the operations were carried out successfully with laparoscopic surgery, no conversion to open surgery. The operative time was (200.5 ± 20.5) min, the intraoperative blood loss was (220.4 ± 30.5) mL, the postoperative time to get out of bed was (1.5 ± 0.5) d, and the time of first flatus was (2.1 ± 1.1) d, the postoperative hospital stay was (6.5 ± 1.5) d. Pancreatic leakage occurred in 5 cases after operation, among of them, 4 cases were cured by conservative treatment and 1 case was cured by puncture and drainage. Postoperative pathology type included 12 cases of pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, 10 cases of mucinous cystadenoma, 3 cases of serous cystadenoma, and 5 cases of neuroendocrine tumor. There was no tumor recurrence and large-scale splenic infarct in 1 year follow-up.Conclusion Laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreantectomy was an efficacious, safe, and minimally invasive procedure in the treatment of pancreatic solid-cystic tumor in young and middle-aged patients.
