Minimally Invasive Surgery for Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Why Not?

#1024

Introduction: Recent evidence suggests that pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are amenable to minimally invasive resections (MIPR).

Aim(s): To evaluate the efficacy of minimally invasive surgeries for pNETs.

Materials and methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of all minimally invasive pancreatic resections between January 2002 and November 2013. Operative, pathological and follow-up data were analyzed (standard statistical methods).
