Abstract
in English, Italian

Objectives: Pancreatic surgery has been greatly influenced by the advent of laparoscopic surgery and increasing experience in its performance and by advances in techniques and surgical devices. This study aimed to represent two centers' initial experiences in laparoscopic distal pancreatic surgery.

Methods: This study was a bi-centric study including 30 patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic disorders. All the patients were operated on from November 2006 to November 2013 in Turkey and Spain.

Results: Laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy was performed in 9 patients, laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy was performed in 14 patients, laparoscopic enucleation was performed in 4 patients, and single-incision laparoscopic distal pancreatosplenectomy with splenectomy was performed in 3 patients.

Conclusions: Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomies for pancreatic disorders are feasible and safe procedures if performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons.

La chirurgia del pancreas è stata grandemente influenzata dall’avvento della chirurgia laparoscopica e dalla crescente esperienza nella sua realizzazione e dai progressi delle tecniche e della strumentazione chirurgica. Questo studio è finalizzato alla presentazione dell’esperienza iniziale di due centri chirurgici nella pancreasectomia distale laparoscopica. Lo studio comprende 30 pazienti di due centri diversi sottoposti a pancreasectomia distale per patologia del pancreas. Tutti gli interventi chirurgicisono stati eseguiti tra novembre 2006 e novembre 2013 in Turchia e in Spagna. La pancreasectomia distale laparoscopica con conservazione della milza è stata eseguita su 9 pazienti, la pancreasectomia distale laparoscopica in 14 pazienti, una enucleoresezione laparoscopica in 4 pazienti ed una pancreasectomia distale laparoscopica con una singola incisione in 3 pazienti. Si conclude affermando la possibilità dell’esecuzione della pancreasectomia distale per via laparoscopica con sicurezza se l’esecuzione è eseguita da chirurghi esperti nella tecnica laparoscopica.
