en Laparoscopic Splenic-Preserving Distal Pancreatectomy for Management of Pancreatic Body Lesion with Splenic Vessels Involvement: A Case Report Basic Science Basic Science Case Report Case Report <p>Abstract</p> <p>Distal pancreatectomy has been a standard technique for pancreatic body and tail lesions for years ago. Recently, it is being performed laparoscopically in a perfect manner. There are two common methods for this procedure. One is distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy and the other is distal pancreatectomy with spleen preservation. In patients with splenic vessels involvement, it is not recommended to save the spleen, because of existing chance of splenic ischemia. On the other hand, after splenectomy there is great chance of immune system problems and fatal infections. This report, presents a patient who underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy due to cystic tumor of pancreatic body with splenic vessels involvement and ligation of them was necessary and the spleen was saved successfully with no following complications.</p> Pancreatectomy,Preservation, Biological,Body Mass 100 110 http://annbsurg.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-31-116&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Abdolreza Pazouki 1003194753284600133 1003194753284600133 No Minimally Invasive Surgery Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IR Iran Mohsen Kalhor 1003194753284600134 1003194753284600134 No Minimally Invasive Surgery Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IR Iran Sina Safamanesh 1003194753284600135 1003194753284600135 No Minimally Invasive Surgery Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IR Iran Mohammad Eidy 1003194753284600136 1003194753284600136 No Minimally Invasive Surgery Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IR Iran Zeinab Tamannaie 1003194753284600137 1003194753284600137 Yes Minimally Invasive Surgery Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IR Iran Yazdan Aryazand 1003194753284600138 1003194753284600138 No Veterinary Surgeries, Shiraz School of Veterinary Medicine, Shiraz, IR Iran Soltanali Fallah 1003194753284600139 1003194753284600139 No Abolfazl Mehdizadehkashi 1003194753284600140 1003194753284600140 No Minimally Invasive Surgery Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IR Iran
