PY - 2022 T2 - Zollinger’s Atlas of Surgical Operations, 11e AB - Laparoscopic resection of the body and tail of the pancreas may be used for localized pancreatic adenocarcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors such as insulinomas, pancreatic cystic neoplasms, and pseudopapillary tumors. The approach is not recommended for chronic calcific pancreatitis. For adenocarcinoma of the body and tail of the pancreas, splenectomy should be performed. Splenic preservation may be considered in the absence of a malignant neoplasm.
