Laparoscopic pancreatic resection: Results of a multicenter European study of 127 patients

Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy in Italy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…These data suggested that, in Italy, the laparoscopic approach was used with prudence in the absence of data regarding long-term results, at least in HVCs. This approach seems to be similar to those of other European countries as reported by Mabrut et al [18] in a study of multicentric series. This study, which included all types of pancreatic laparoscopic resections, found that the most common indication was benign pancreatic disease and only 3.9% of patients were affected by PDACs.…”

Spleen-Preserving Versus Spleen-Sacrificing Distal Pancreatectomy in Laparoscopy and Open Method-Perioperative Outcome Analysis—14 Years Experience

“…Clinically significant collection (two cases where high amylase content in aspirated fluid confirmed pancreatic leak) responded to image-guided aspiration. Our leak rate (5.6 %) was lower than the European multi-center study [17]. As significant collection can be drained under image guidance post operatively, we chose not to use drain to avoid drain-related morbidity [18].…”

Laparoscopic versus open distal pancreatectomy for benign or premalignant pancreatic neoplasms: A two-center comparative study

“…Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) was first reported by Cuschieri (1994). Since then, several case series (Melotti et al, 2007;Taylor et al, 2008;Song et al, 2011), comparative cohort studies (Mabrut et al, 2005;Kooby et al, 2008;Jayaraman et al, 2010), and meta-analysis reports (Jusoh and Ammori, 2012;Pericleous et al, 2012;Xie et al, 2012;Nakamura and Nakashima, 2013) (Fox et al, 2012;Kneuertz et al, 2012;Venkat et al, 2012).…”
