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.
Partial nephrectomy: If the ectopic ureter is associated with a duplex kidney and the upper pole of the kidney does not function well, it might be recommended to remove that portion of the kidney. At CHOP a partial nephrectomy can be done through a minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
