Laparscopic Distal Pancreatectomy. A laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is performed to remove benign or malignant (cancerous) tumors in the body or the tail of the pancreas. The surgeon most often will need to remove the spleen because it is located near the pancreas and shares some of the blood vessels.
Cystectomy is most commonly performed to treat cancer of the bladder. Once a patient has been diagnosed with bladder cancer, a staging system is used to indicate how far the cancer has spread and determine appropriate treatments.
