Combined laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy and islet autotransplantation for benign pancreatic neoplasm Balzano G; Carvello M; Piemonti L; Nano R; Ariotti R; Mercalli A; Melzi R; Maffi P; Braga M; Staudacher CWorld J Gastroenterol 2014[Apr]; 20 (14): 4030-6AIM: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP) with autologous islet transplantation (AIT) for benign tumors of the pancreatic body-neck. METHODS: Three non-diabetic, female patients (age 37, 44 and 35 years, respectively) were declared candidates for surgery, between May and September 2011, because of pancreatic body/neck cystic lesions. The planned operation was an LSPDP associated with AIT from the normal pancreas distal to the neoplasm. Islets isolation was performed on the residual pancreatic parenchyma after frozen section examination of the margin. Purified autologous islets were infused into the portal vein by a percutaneous transhepatic approach the day after surgery. RESULTS: The procedure was performed successfully in all the three cases, and the spleen was preserved along with its vessels. Mean operation time was 283 +/- 52 min and average blood loss was 133 +/- 57 mL. Residual pancreas weights were 33, 22 and 30 g, and 105.200, 40.390 and 94.790 islet equivalents were isolated, respectively. Surgical complications occurred in one patient (grade A pancreatic fistula). Postoperative stays were 6, 6 and 7 d, respectively. Histopathological evaluation revealed mucinous cystic neoplasm in cases 1 and 3, and serous cystic neoplasm in patient 2. No postoperative insulin administration was required. One patient developed a transient partial portal thrombosis 2 mo after islet infusion. Patients are insulin independent at a mean follow up of 8 +/- 2 mo. CONCLUSION: Combination of LSPDP and AIT is feasible and could be effective to minimize the surgical impact for benign neoplasm of pancreatic body-neck.|Abdominal Pain/diagnostic imaging/pathology[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Islets of Langerhans Transplantation[MESH]|Islets of Langerhans/pathology[MESH]|Laparoscopy/*methods[MESH]|Pancreas/pathology[MESH]|Pancreatectomy/*methods[MESH]|Pancreatic Neoplasms/*surgery/*therapy[MESH]|Renal Colic/diagnostic imaging/pathology[MESH]|Spleen/*surgery[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed[MESH]|Transplantation[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
