en Parenchyma-Sparing Pancreatectomy for Benign Pancreatic Neoplasms Basic Science Basic Science Review/Systematic Review Review/Systematic Review <sec> <div>Context</div> <p>The current literature suggests that minimally invasive surgery is associated with faster recovery and less morbidity than open surgery. Parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy is minimally invasive surgery, including enucleation, inferior head pancreatectomy, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, and central pancreatectomy, combined pancreatectomy such as inferior head pancreatectomy plus spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, and subtotal distal pancreatectomy (spleen-preserving).</p> </sec> <sec> <div>Evidence Acquisition</div> <p>Parenchyma-sparing pancreatic resection is mainly used for benign neoplasms, including intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), mucinous cystadenoma, serous cystadenoma, and small sized neuroendocrine tumors including insulinoma.</p> </sec> <sec> <div>Results</div> <p>Parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy can be applied for benign pancreatic lesions. Assistance with pancreatic stenting and/or laparoscopy is recommended in some cases to prevent from complications.</p> </sec> <sec> <div>Conclusions</div> <p>Recent advancements of surgical techniques have allowed us to perform several types of parenchyma-sparing pancreatic resection.</p> </sec> Pancreatectomy,Methods,Complications,Surgical Procedures, Minimally Invasive,Pancreatic Neoplasm 100 110 http://annbsurg.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-31-115&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Masahiko Hirota 1003194753284600132 1003194753284600132 Yes Department of Surgery, Kumamoto Regional Medical Center, Kumamoto, Japan
