Abstract
Classic pancreatectomy procedures usually require resection of the pancreas and surrounding organs, having disadvantages of major trauma, long hospital stay and high morbidity. In order to preserve organ function as much as possible, many types of organ preserving pancreatectomy have been widely used in the treatment of benign pancreatic tumors and low-grade malignant lesions, including tumor enucleation, pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy, duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection, middle segmental pancreatectomy, and spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy. With the development of minimally invasive techniques in recent years, laparoscopic and robotic techniques have been also safely applied in organ preserving pancreatectomy. This article will review the current research status of organ preserving pancreatectomy.
