Laparoscopic Radical Antegrade Modular Pancreatosplenectomy via Dorsal-Caudal Artery Approach for Pancreatic Neck-Body Cancer

Zhantao Shen^1,2, Guihao Chen^1,2, Chunbao Zhu², Xiang Wu^1,2, Yifeng Liu^1,2, Zhangyuanzhu Liu^1,2, Zhijian Tan^1,2, Xiaosheng Zhong^1,2

¹The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, ²The Second Clinical College of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine

With advancements in laparoscopic techniques, laparoscopic radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (L-RAMPS) has been widely recognized. However, owing to several technical difficulties in this procedure, the artery-first approach in L-RAMPS still remains uncommon. Here, we developed the dorsal-caudal artery approach for L-RAMPS, which might be safe and beneficial for pancreatic neck tumors.
