ABSTRACT: Rationale
There is controversy regarding the optimal surgical approach for pancreatic lesions in the center of the pancreas. Duodenum-preserving pancreatic cental resection compared with pancreaticoduodenectomy is technically more challenging, but preserves more functional pancreatic tissue.Patient concerns
A 34-year-old woman was admitted to our department on March 15, 2017. Computed tomographic's and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography's diagnosis was a solitary tumor 3.0?×?2.2-cm lesion located in border between pancreatic neck and body. The patient's condition was good and symptomless, without any disease history. Physical examination and routine blood investigations were normal. All pancreatic malignant tumor biological markers were negative.Diagnoses
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of pancreas.Interventions
Total laparoscopic central pancreatectomy with Roux-Y pancreaticojejunostomy was performed, and unscheduled open surgery was done for abdominal pain caused by intraperitoneal bleeding.Outcomes
The recovery was smooth after unscheduled open surgery. At the end of 20 months follow-up, she was well and showed no signs of recurrence.Lessons
The anatomy of the operation is clearer and easier than open surgery because of the magnification effect of laparoscopy. Total laparoscopic central pancreatectomy is safe, effective, feasible for SPN of pancreas, and it should be equally applicable to some other pancreatic cystic neoplasms and neuro-endocrine tumors. Suture is the best measure to prevent postoperative angiorhagia of intraperitoneal cavity.
