Background: To discuss the advantage of central pancreatectomy in the patients with benign tumors of the neck and body of the pancreas.
Methods: Eight patients from January 1990 to December 2007 were retrospectively analyzed in our hospital. The operation is carried out by exposition of the pancreatic neck and body involved by the lesion. Thereafter, the lesion is dissected from the spleen artery and porto-mesenteric vein. The cephalic stump is sutured, and the distal stump is anastomosed by an end-to-end invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy with double-layer suture.
Results: Central pancreatectomy was done in eight patients including five mucinous cystadenomas, one serious cystadenoma, one insulinoma and one nonfunctional islet cell tumor. No mortality rate developed and morbidity rate was 37.5%. Pancreatic fistula occurred in three cases and was treated conservatively.
Conclusion: Central pancreatectomy is a safe technique for benign tumors of the pancreatic neck and body, especially when the enucleation is very difficult.

Objective: The aim was to evaluate the sustainability of the pancreatic Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program and the effect of ERAS items on patient morbidity and hospital stay.
Background: The current ERAS guideline recommendations encompass 27 items to improve recovery after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).
Methods: Patients who underwent pancreatic resection at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf between February 2016 and June 2023 were included.

Central pancreatectomy (CP) is a viable option for low malignant tumors located in the neck or proximal body of the pancreas. This procedure has the advantage of minimizing impairment to pancreatic function. However, it is technically challenging and carries a relatively high risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula.

Background: Intraductal papillary mucinous tumour (IPMN) of pancreas is increasingly recognized to have malignant potential. Fukuoka guidelines are commonly used to select patients with IPMN for resection due to high chance of malignancy, which includes high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or invasive carcinoma (IC).
Methods: A retrospective study on consecutive patients who have undergone pancreatectomy with IPMN as the final pathology was performed.

Purpose: There is no established surgical method for metastatic lesion to the pancreas. In the case of relatively small lesion, we often hesitate to select which surgical method, that is, wedge/partial resection or Whipple/distal pancreatectomy. Moreover, it is debatable whether lymph node dissection is necessary or not.
