A multicenter analysis of distal pancreatectomy for adenocarcinoma: is laparoscopic resection appropriate?
LDP provides similar short- and long-term oncologic outcomes as compared with OD, with potentially shorter hospital stay. These results suggest that LDP is an acceptable approach for resection of PDAC of the left pancreas in selected patients.
This study provides a detailed, technical laparoscopic methodology for procurement of right-sided kidneys with retrocaval arterial bifurcation, which was associated with outcomes similar to right and left kidneys with single arteries.
