Abstract :
Abstract Distal pancreatectomy has been a standard technique for pancreatic body and tail lesions for years ago. Recently, it is being performed laparoscopically in a perfect manner. There are two common methods for this procedure. One is distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy and the other is distal pancreatectomy with spleen preservation. In patients with splenic vessels involvement, it is not recommended to save the spleen, because of existing chance of splenic ischemia. On the other hand, after splenectomy there is great chance of immune system problems and fatal infections. This report, presents a patient who underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy due to cystic tumor of pancreatic body with splenic vessels involvement and ligation of them was necessary and the spleen was saved successfully with no following complications.
