Abstract

Despite the emphasis on its role, the spleen has commonly been removed in distal pancreatectomy. We designed this study to evaluate the efficacy of spleen salvage during laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for patients with benign and borderline malignant tumors. From February 2005 to December 2010, 40 patients underwent spleen-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (Sp-Lap DP) and 32 patients underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatosplenectomy (Lap DPS). Medical records were retrospectively reviewed, and a specially designed questionnaire was administered to the patients for the follow-up study. The demographics and final diagnoses were similar between the two groups. The operative time was significantly longer in the Sp-Lap DP group (303.9 ± 136.0 versus 239.0 ± 94.9 min, p = 0.024). Patients in the Lap DPS group had more postoperative pancreatic fistulas of higher grade (p = 0.026). A higher grade of postoperative complications occurred more frequently in the Lap DPS group (p = 0.003). Consequently, postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter for Sp-Lap DP than for Lap DPS patients (7.1 ± 2.3 versus 12.5 ± 10.8 days, p = 0.004). On the follow-up survey, episodes of common cold or flu were apparently more frequ...Continue Reading
