Abstract
INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic resection of the pancreas (LRP) has been implemented to a varying degree because it is technically demanding and requires a long learning curve. In the present study we analyze the risk factors for complications and hospital readmissions in a single center study of 105 consecutive LRPs. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study using a prospective database. Data were collected on age, gender, BMI, ASA score, type of surgery, histologic type, operative time, hospital stay, postoperative complications, degree of severity and hospital readmission. RESULTS The cohort included 105 patients, 63 females and 42 males with a median age and BMI of 58 (53-70) and 25.5 (22,2-27.9) respectively. Eighteen (17%) central pancreatectomies, 5 (4.8%) enucleations, 81 (77.6%) distal pancreatectomies and one total pancreatectomy were performed. Fifty-six patients (53.3%) experienced some type of complication, of which 13 (12.3%) were severe (Clavien-Dindo > IIIb) and 11 (10.5%) patients were readmitted in the first 30 days after surgery. In the univariate analysis, age, male gender, ASA score, central pancreatectomy and operative time were significantly associated with the development of complications (P <0.05). In the multivariate analysis, male gender (OR 7.97; 95% CI 1.08-58.88)), severe complications (OR 59.40; 95% CI, 7.69-458.99), and the development of intrabdominal collections (OR 8.97; 95% CI, 1.28-63.02)) were associated with hospital readmission. CONCLUSIONS Age, male gender, ASA score, operative time and central pancreatectomy are associated with a higher incidence of complications. Male gender, severe complications and intraabdominal collections are associated with more hospital readmissions.

[PMID: 35987787 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2022.06.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Revised: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 10/31/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to give an overview on the postoperative outcome after a minimally invasive (ie, laparoscopic and robot-assisted) central pancreatectomy and open central pancreatectomy with a specific emphasis on the postoperative pancreatic fistula. For benign and low-grade malignant lesions in the pancreatic neck and body, central pancreatectomy may be an alternative to distal pancreatectomy. Exocrine and endocrine insufficiency occur less often after central pancreatectomy, but the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula is higher. METHODS An electronic search was performed for studies on elective minimally invasive central pancreatectomy and open central pancreatectomy, which reported on major morbidity and postoperative pancreatic fistula in PubMed, Cochrane Register, Embase, and Google Scholar until June 1, 2021. A review protocol was developed a priori and registered in PROSPERO as CRD42021259738. A meta-regression was performed by using a random effects model. RESULTS Overall, 41 studies were included involving 1,004 patients, consisting of 158 laparoscopic minimally invasive central pancreatectomies, 80 robot-assisted minimally invasive central pancreatectomies, and 766 open central pancreatectomies. The overall rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula was 14%, major morbidity 14%, and 30-day mortality 1%. The rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula (17% vs 24%, P = .194), major morbidity (17% vs 14%, P = .672), and new-onset diabetes (3% vs 6%, P = .353) did not differ significantly between minimally invasive central pancreatectomy and open central pancreatectomy, respectively. Minimally invasive central pancreatectomy was associated with significantly fewer blood transfusions, less exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and fewer readmissions compared with open central pancreatectomy. A meta-regression was performed with a random effects model between minimally invasive central pancreatectomy and open central pancreatectomy and showed no significant difference for postoperative pancreatic fistula (random effects model 0.16 [0.10; 0.24] with P = .789), major morbidity (random effects model 0.20 [0.15; 0.25] with P = .410), and new-onset diabetes mellitus (random effects model 0.04 [0.02; 0.07] with P = .651). CONCLUSION In selected patients and in experienced hands, minimally invasive central pancreatectomy is a safe alternative to open central pancreatectomy for benign and low-grade malignant lesions of the neck and body. Ideally, further research should confirm this with the main focus on postoperative pancreatic fistula and endocrine and exocrine insufficiency.

Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic technique has been increasingly applied in the treatment of selected pancreatic tumors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the experience with laparoscopic enucleation of pancreatic neoplasms (LEPNs), for selected pancreatic diseases, at a high-volume referral center. Methods: Between May 2012 and October 2020, LEPNs was attempted in 16 patients with selected pancreatic neoplasms. The localization of tumors, etiology, indications, and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Results: Sixteen patients were included. LEPN was successfully performed in 13 patients, 3 conversions to open procedure were required. The definitive histopathological result of the resected pieces showed prevalence of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. Postoperative major complications occurred for 3 patients (18.7%), the 3 of them presented postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). The median hospital stay was 4.5 days (range 2-7) for patients without POPF and 14.6 days (3-30) for those who presented with POPF. No deaths were registered. During a median follow-up of 43.8 months (0.2-109), no new-onset exocrine or endocrine insufficiency was diagnosed, no patient experienced tumor recurrence and, the 4 patients who underwent LEPN for insulinoma, remained asymptomatic. Conclusion: LEPNs has become a valuable alternative for patients with benign or low risk of malignancy tumors. Appropriate preoperative imaging is key for localization. Whenever feasible, this technique not only reduces the risks of exocrine and endocrine insufficiency, but also adds the well-known advantages of minimally invasive techniques, making it a safe and feasible treatment.

Similar Outcomes in Minimally Invasive versus Open Management of Primary Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Regional, Multi-Institutional Collaborative Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14061387. [PMID: 35326539 PMCID: PMC8946133 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14061387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs), the impact of minimally invasive (MI) versus open resection on outcomes remains poorly studied. We queried a multi-institutional pancreatic cancer registry for patients with resected non-metastatic PNET from 1996−2020. Recurrence-free (RFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and operative complications were evaluated. Two hundred and eighty-two patients were identified. Operations were open in 139 (49%) and MI in 143 (51%). Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in 77 (27%, n = 23 MI), distal pancreatectomy in 184 (65%, n = 109 MI), enucleation in 13 (5%), and total pancreatectomy in eight (3%). Median follow-up was 50 months. Thirty-six recurrences and 13 deaths from recurrent disease yielded 5-year RFS and DSS of 85% and 95%, respectively. On multivariable analysis, grade 1 (HR 0.07, p < 0.001) and grade 2 (HR 0.20, p = 0.002) tumors were associated with improved RFS, while T3/T4 tumors were associated with worse RFS (OR 2.78, p = 0.04). MI resection was not associated with RFS (HR 0.53, p = 0.14). There was insufficient mortality to evaluate DSS with multivariable analysis. Of 159 patients with available NSQIP data, incisional surgical site infections (SSIs), organ space SSIs, Grade B/C pancreatic fistulas, reoperations, and need for percutaneous drainage did not differ by operative approach (all p > 0.2). Nodal harvest was similar for MI versus open distal pancreatectomies (p = 0.16) and pancreaticoduodenectomies (p = 0.28). Minimally invasive surgical management of PNETs is equivalent for oncologic and postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
The perioperative management and technical details of laparoscopic clamp-crushing enucleation for low-malignant-potential pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) located close to the main pancreatic duct (MPD) in the body/tail of the pancreas using a perioperative MPD stent are reported. The procedure was performed in two patients with PNEN (13 and 10 mm in diameter) in the body/tail of the pancreas. A naso-pancreatic stent (NPS) was placed preoperatively in both patients. Resection was performed using Maryland-type bipolar forceps. The surgical duration was 139 and 55 min, and the estimated blood loss was 5 and 0 mL, respectively. One patient was discharged uneventfully on postoperative day (POD) 12. The other patient developed a grade B pancreatic fistula, but was discharged on POD 22. Laparoscopic clamp-crushing enucleation with an NPS might be a viable treatment option for tumors located close to the MPD.

Abstract
Over recent decades there has been a significant increase in the annual incidence of neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas (PanNets), from 0.4 to 0.8 per 100,000 inhabitants, due to the more widespread use of more sensitive imaging techniques (cross-sectional and functional imaging).

Abstract
Background/Aim Fifty to 70 percent of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are diagnosed incidentally. The objective of this study is to compare the phenotype and oncological outcomes of incidental versus symptomatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Methods A retrospective study was conducted identifying all incidental and symptomatic tumors resected between 2000 and 2019. Baseline characteristics, symptoms, operative variables and pathological stage were all recorded. In both groups, patterns of recurrence and overall and disease-free survival were analyzed. Results Fifty-one incidental and 45 symptomatic pancreatic tumor resections were performed. Symptomatic tumors were more frequent in women (29 vs 17; p=0.005), in younger patients (median years; 50 vs 58; p=0.012) and were detected at a more advanced stage (p=0.027). There were no differences in location and most resections (n= 49; 51%) were performed laparoscopically. There were no operative mortalities and 17 (17.7%) severe complications (≥IIIb on the Clavien-Dindo classification) were recorded with no differences between the two groups. With a median follow-up of 64.4 months (range 13.5 - 90), overall survival at 5 and 10 years was 89.7% and 72.8% for the non-incidental tumors, and 80.9% and 54.6% for the incidental tumors (p=ns). Disease-free survival in both groups (excluding M1a) was 71.2% and 47.5%, and 93.7% and 78.1%, respectively (p= ns). Conclusions Symptomatic tumors are more frequent in women and present at higher pathological stages. There were no significant differences in overall and disease-free survival between the two groups. Resection of incidental tumors ≥1.5 - 2 cm seems advisable, although each case should assessed on an individual basis.

Abstract
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PNETs) are a rare and heterogeneous group of tumours with various clinical manifestations and biological behaviours. They represent approximately 2-4% of all pancreatic tumours, with an incidence of 2-3 cases per million people. PNETs are classified clinically as non-functional or functional, and pancreatic resection is recommended for lesions greater than 2 cm. The surgical approach can involve "typical" and "atypical" resections depending on the number, size and location of the tumour. Typical resections include pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy enucleation and, rarely, total pancreatectomy. Atypical resections comprise central pancreatectomies or enucleations. Minimally invasive pancreatic resection has been proven to be technically feasible and safe in high-volume and specialized centres with highly skilled laparoscopic surgeons, with consolidated benefits for patients in the postoperative course. However, open and minimally invasive pancreatic surgery remains to have a high rate of complications; there is no specific technical contraindication to minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, but an appropriate patient selection is crucial to obtain satisfactory clinical and oncological outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mainstay of treating nonfunctioning-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors(NF-PNETs) is surgical resection. However, minimally invasive approaches to pancreatic resection for treating NF-PNETs are not widely accepted, and the long-term oncological outcomes of such approaches remain unknown.
AIM To determine the short- and long-term outcomes of minimally invasive pancreatic resection conducted in patients with NF-PNETs.
METHODS Prospective databases from Severance Hospital were searched for 110 patients who underwent curative resection for NF-PNETs between January 2003 and August 2018.
RESULTS The proportion of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures performed for NF-PNET increased to more than 75% after 2013. There was no significant difference in post-operative complications (P = 0.654), including pancreatic fistula (P = 0.890) and delayed gastric emptying (P = 0.652), between MIS and open approaches. No statistically significant difference was found in disease-free survival between the open approach group and the MIS group (median follow-up period, 28.1 mo; P = 0.428). In addition, the surgical approach (MIS vs open) was not found to be an independent prognostic factor in treating NF-PNET patients [Exp(β) = 1.062; P = 0.929].
CONCLUSION Regardless of the type of surgery, a minimally invasive approach can be safe and feasible for select NF-PNET patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) are rare neoplasms associated with a long life expectancy after resection. In this setting, patients may benefit from laparoscopic organ-sparing resection. Studies of laparoscopic organ-sparing resection for PNENs are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic organ-sparing resection for PNENs. METHODS A retrospective study was performed for patients with PNENs who underwent laparoscopic organ-sparing pancreatectomy between March 2005 and May 2018. The patients' demographic data, operative results, pathological reports, hospital courses and morbidity, mortality, and follow-up data (until August 2018) were analysed. RESULTS Thirty-five patients were included in the final analysis. There were 9 male and 26 female patients, with a median age of 46 years (range 25-75 years). The mean BMI was 24.6 ± 3.3 kg/m2. Nine patients received laparoscopic enucleation (LE), 20 received laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP), and 6 received laparoscopic central pancreatectomy. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, transfusion rate, and postoperative hospital stay were 186.4 ± 60.2 min, 165 ± 73.0 ml, 0 days, and 9 days (range 5-23 days), respectively. The morbidity rate, grade ≥ III complication rate, and grade ≥ B pancreatic fistula rate were 34.2%, 11.4%, and 8.7%, respectively, with no mortality. The rate of follow-up was 94.3%, and the median follow-up time was 55 months (range 3-158 months). One patient developed recurrence 36 months after LE and was managed with surgical resection. The other patients survived without metastases or recurrence during the follow-up. One patient had diabetes after LSPDP, and no patients had symptoms of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. Nineteen patients who underwent LSPDP (16 with the Kimura technique and 3 with the Warshaw technique) were followed. Normal patency of the splenic artery and vein was observed in 14 and 14 patients within 1 month of surgery and in 15 and 14 patients 6 months or more after the operation, respectively. Partial splenic infarction was observed in 3 patients within 1 month of surgery and in no patients 6 months or more after the operation. Three patients eventually developed collateral venous vessels around the gastric fundus and reserved spleen, with one case of variceal bleeding. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic organ-sparing resection for selected cases of PNENs is safe and feasible and has favourable short- and long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the pancreas (pNEN) have an increasing incidence and prevalence. Thus, this entity is of increasing clinical significance. Patients with pNEN become clinically apparent due to different and unspecific symptoms. Some tumours secrete hormones and peptides and become clinically symptomatic. In general, these tumours can metastasise early and even small tumours lead to distant metastases. Nonetheless, primary tumour size and grading are important prognostic factors. On the basis of a systematic literature research and the formulation of key issues according to the PICO system, therapeutic concepts were established. These concepts were evaluated with a Delphi process among the members of the pancreas research group and the indications for surgery group of the German Society of General and Visceral Surgery. Thus this article gives an overview of the surgical treatment modalities and indications for the treatment of pNEN. Surgery is still the gold standard in treatment and the only potential chance of cure. Surgery is indicated for sporadic as well as hereditary pNEN > 2 cm independent of the functional activity. A so called "wait and see" strategy might be indicated in smaller pNEN; however, there is little evidence for this approach. In this respect, pNEN of 1 - 2 cm represent a surgical indication. The treatment of hereditary pNEN is challenging and should be interdisciplinary. Even in the case of distant metastases, a curative approach might be feasible and multimodal treatment is indicated.

Abstract
Despite the potential clinical advantages offered by laparoscopic pancreatic surgery (LPS), the main obstacle to its widespread adoption is the technically demanding nature of the procedure and its steep learning curve. LPS and robotic pancreatic surgery (RPS) have been proven to result in superior short-term perioperative outcomes and equivalent long-term oncological outcomes compared to the conventional open approach, with the caveat that they are performed by expert surgeons who have been trained to perform such procedures. The primary challenge faced by most pancreatic surgeons is the steep learning curve associated with these complex procedures and the need to undergo surgical training, especially with regards to laparoscopic and robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy. Current evidence suggests that RPS may help to shorten the lengthy learning curve required for LPS. More robust evidence—in the form of large randomised controlled trials—is needed to determine whether LPS and RPS can be safely adopted universally.

Abstract
Purpose Surgery is recommended for most patients with gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasias (GEP-NENs). Rates of complications and perioperative mortality have been reported in few mostly retrospective single-center series, but there has been no detailed analysis on risk factors for perioperative complications and mortality to date. Methods Data of patients with GEP-NENs operated between January 2015 and September 2018 were retrieved from EUROCRINE©, a European online endocrine surgical quality registry, and analyzed regarding rate and risk factors of surgical complications. Risk factors were assessed by logistic regression. Results Some 376 patients (211 female, 167 male; age median 63, range 15–89 years) were included. Most NENs were located in the small intestine (SI) (n = 132) or pancreas (n = 111), the rest in the stomach (n = 34), duodenum (n = 30), appendix (n = 30), colon, and rectum (n = 22), or with unknown primary (n = 15). Of the tumors, 320 (85.1%) were well or moderately differentiated, and 147 (39.1%) of the patients had distant metastases at the time of operation. Severe complications (Dindo-Clavien ≥ 3) occurred in 56 (14.9%) patients, and 4 (1.1%) patients died perioperatively. Severe complications were more frequent in surgery for duodenopancreatic NENs (n = 31; 22.0%) compared with SI-NENs (n = 15; 11.4%) (p = 0.014), in patients with lymph node metastases operated with curative aim of surgery (n = 24; 21.4%) versus non-metastasized tumors or palliative surgery (n = 32; 12.1%) (p = 0.020), and in functioning tumors (n = 20; 23.0%) versus non-functioning tumors (n = 30; 13.5%) (p = 0.042). Complication rates were not significantly associated with tumor stage or grade. Conclusions Severe complications are frequent in GEP-NEN surgery. Besides duodenopancreatic tumor location, curative resection of nodal metastases and functioning tumors are risk factors for complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine short- and long-term oncologic outcomes after minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) with open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) for the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET). METHODS The data of the patients who underwent curative MIDP or ODP for pNET between 2000 and 2016 were collected from a multi-institutional database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to generate 1:1 matched patients with MIDP and ODP. RESULTS A total of 576 patients undergoing curative DP for pNET were included. Two hundred and fourteen (37.2%) patients underwent MIDP, whereas 362 (62.8%) underwent ODP. MIDP was increasingly performed over time (2000-2004: 9.3% vs 2013-2016: 54.8%; P < 0.01). In the matched cohort (n = 141 in each group), patients who underwent MIDP had less blood loss (median, 100 vs 200 mL, P < 0.001), lower incidence of Clavien-Dindo ≥ III complications (12.1% vs 24.8%, P = 0.026), and a shorter hospital stay versus ODP (median, 4 versus 7 days, P = 0.026). Patients who underwent MIDP had a lower incidence of recurrence (5-year cumulative recurrence, 10.1% vs 31.1%, P < 0.001), yet equivalent overall survival (OS) rate (5-year OS, 92.1% vs 90.9%, P = 0.550) compared with patients who underwent OPD. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing MIDP over ODP in the treatment of pNET had comparable oncologic surgical metrics, as well as similar long-term OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Suturing the proximal pancreatic stump and performing pancreaticoenterostomy for the distal pancreatic stump following central pancreatectomy is a conventional procedure. This reconstruction after resection of the pathological pancreatic lesion brings changes in anatomy and physiology. In this study, an innovative one-stage robotic end-to-end pancreatic anastomosis was reported to replace the conventional pancreaticoenterostomy following central pancreatectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical data of 11 consecutive patients who underwent robotic central pancreatectomy with end-to-end pancreatic anastomosis between August 2017 and December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS All operations were completed successfully without any conversion to open surgery. Nine patients had benign tumors, one had a mass-forming chronic pancreatitis, and one had an isolated pancreatic metastasis from a renal cancer. The mean gap left after central pancreatectomy was 4.3 ± 1.0 cm. The median operative time was 121 (range, 105 to 199) min. The median blood loss was 50 (range, 20 to 100) ml. Seven (63.6%) patients developed complications which included Clavien-Dindo Grade I complications in five patients, a Grade II complication in one patient, and a Grade IIIa complication in one patient. Seven patients developed a Grade B postoperative pancreatic fistula, and two patients a biochemical leak. There was no Grade C or worse pancreatic fistula. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography at postoperative 6 months showed no stricture in any of the main pancreatic ducts. Three patients had an asymptomatic and small pancreatic pseudocyst. CONCLUSION Robotic central pancreatectomy with end-to-end pancreatic anastomosis was safe and feasible. It restores the normal anatomy of the pancreas. With its good short-and long-term outcomes, it could be an alternative reconstructive method to pancreaticoenterostomy following central pancreatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are relatively rare neoplasms with a low to mild malignant potential. They can be further divided into functioning and nonfunctioning, according to their secretive activity. Surgery is an optimal approach, but the classic open approach is challenging, with some patients having long hospitalization and potentially life-threatening complications. The robotic approach for PanNETs may represent an option to optimize their management. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed our prospectively maintained databases from 2 high-volume Italian centers for pancreatic surgery. Demographics, pathological characteristics, perioperative outcome, and medium-term follow-up of patients who underwent robotic pancreatic enucleations were collected. RESULTS Twelve patients with final diagnosis of PanNET were included. The mean age of the patients was 53.8 years (25-77). The median body mass index was 26 (24-29). Three lesions were functioning insulinomas, while the others were nonfunctioning tumors. No deaths occurred. Mild postoperative complications occurred, except for 1 grade B pancreatic fistula. The mean postoperative stay was 3.9 days (2-5). CONCLUSIONS Our results confirm that robotic enucleation is a feasible and safe approach for the treatment of PanNETs, with short hospital stay and low incidence of morbidity.

Abstract
Over the past decade, there has been increasing adoption of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery world-wide and this has naturally expanded to the management of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs). More recently, robotic pancreatic surgery (RPS) was introduced to overcome the limitations during laparoscopic pancreatic surgery (LPS). Due to the relative rarity of PNEN and the novelty of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery in particular RPS today, the evidence for robotic surgery in PNENs remains extremely limited. Presently, the available evidence is limited to a few low level retrospective case-control studies. These studies suggest that RPS may be associated with a higher splenic preservation rates and lower open conversion rates compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery. Ideally a prospective randomized trial should be performed but this would be extremely challenging due to the rarity of PNEN, making it almost impossible to conduct a sufficiently powered trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic incidentalomas (PI) are nowadays common but the benefit-risk balance of surgery remains difficult to determine. METHODS Monocentric retrospective study of 881 pancreatectomies comparing resected PI with symptomatic lesion. Univariate and multivariate (MV) analyses were done to identify risk factors of malignancy in PI undergoing surgery. RESULTS Overall, 32% of pancreatectomies were performed for PI. Median size of PI was 30 mm (vs 28 mm; p = 0.15) and 49% were cystic (vs 42%; p = 0.197). Resected PI were mostly located in distal pancreas (61% vs 34%; p < 0.001), less frequently malignant (49% vs 59%; p = 0.004). PNETs were more frequent in PI (50% vs 21%; p < 0.001). Distal pancreatectomy (36% vs 23%; p < 0.001) or parenchyma-sparing surgery (34% vs 13%; p < 0.001) were more frequently performed for PI. Overall mortality (1.1% vs 1.2%) and morbidity (70% vs 68%) were not significantly different between both groups. Severe morbidity was lower for PI (15% vs 22%; p = 0.007). In multivariate analysis, age>55 years (HR 6.14; p < 0.001), size >20 mm (HR:26.7; p < 0.001) and biliary dilatation (HR 29.9; p = 0.027) were independent risk factors of malignancy and, when associated, the likelihood of malignancy was above 90%. CONCLUSIONS PI represent about 30% of indications for pancreatectomy and when resected after careful selection are malignant in 50% of cases.

Abstract
Over recent years, minimally invasive pancreatic resections have increasingly been reported in the literature. Even though pancreatic surgery is still considered a challenge for surgeons due to its technical difficulties and high morbidity, the consolidation of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery has included the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs). This article presents a systematic review of the literature with regards to the laparoscopic treatment of PNETs in order to assess the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic pancreatic resections.
