Laparoscopic Transection of the Pancreatic Neck With Enucleation of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN) in the Uncinate Process and Pancreatic Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laparoscopic transection of the pancreatic neck with enucleation of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) in the uncinate process and pancreatic reconstruction represents a novel surgical approach for managing pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. This technique may provide a new therapeutic option for patients with benign or low-grade malignant tumors in the pancreatic uncinate process. This study aimed to assess this procedure's short- and long-term clinical outcomes and delineate its technical operative details.

Methods

For a 42-year-old man, branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) was diagnosed. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed an irregular cystic lesion in the cephalad portion of the pan
