In a distal pancreatectomy combined with a distal gastrectomy, the splenic artery and vein must be conserved.
We performed a HALS-SPDP combined with a LDG for the treatment of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with early gastric cancer.
Six months after surgery, an enhanced computed tomography scan revealed the patency of the splenic artery and vein.
An HALS-SPDP combined with an LDG is beneficial and safe for the patients who have a pancreatic low-grade malignant tumor and gastric cancer.
