Background/aims: To study the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP).
Methodology: Four patients underwent attempted LSPDP from February 2008 to April 2010 in our department and their clinical data and outcome were reviewed retrospectively.
Results: A total of 4 laparoscopic distal pancreas resections were attempted for 3 female and 1 male patient. All of these operations were successful with an average operative time of 235 min (range 115-305 min) and average blood loss of 200mL (range 100-450mL). The mean hospital stay time was 12.8 days, ranging from 10 to 21 days. Pancreatic fistula occurred in 1 patient then cured by extending drainage. Postoperative pathological examination showed those 2 cases of serous cystadenoma, 1 case of mucinous cystadenoma and 1 case of insulinoma, respectively.
Conclusions: LSPDP is minimally invasive, safe and feasible for the management of benign pancreatic tail tumors with the advantages of earlier recovery and less morbidity from complications.

Introduction: Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) has the advantages of reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and a better postoperative quality of life compared with open distal pancreatectomy (ODP). Meanwhile, spleen-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is the preferred technique for low-grade malignant and benign tumors located in pancreatic body and tail, since it preserves the immune function of the spleen. The splenic-vessel-preserving (SVP) Kimura technique and splenic vessel resection Warshaw technique are the two primary procedures.

Splenic cysts, although rare, present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to their varied etiologies and clinical manifestations. This review synthesizes the current understanding of splenic cysts through an analysis of thirteen case reports spanning from 1988 to 2023. Etiologies include epithelial, parasitic, and sarcomatous origins.

Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy is a common bariatric procedure to manage morbid obesity. Splenic injury such as splenic rupture after sleeve gastrectomy is a rare complication which can be treated both with a splenectomy or conservative approach, called spleen-preserving surgery.
Patients And Methods: A 42-year old male, in whom we performed a sleeve gastrectomy, presented with splenic rupture, within 48 h postoperative, for which spleen-preserving surgery was performed.

Background And Objectives: Complete preservation of the splenic vessels is ideal during laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP). However, this remains challenging and time-consuming because the vessels are often deeply embedded in the pancreatic parenchyma. Herein, we introduce our inferior-medial approach to laparoscopic splenic vessel-preserving distal pancreatectomy (lap-SVPDP) and evaluate its safety and feasibility.
