Background/objectives: It is often difficult to determine an adequate resection line during pancreatectomy for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm involving the main pancreatic duct during partial pancreatectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of improved peroral pancreatoscopy using SpyGlass-DS in the preoperative assessment of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm involving the main pancreatic duct.
Methods: We collected and retrospectively analyzed clinicopathological data from seven consecutive patients who underwent preoperative assessment of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm involving the main duct using SpyGlass-DS.
