Abstract
- Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) is the standard surgery for malignant and premalignant tumors of the pancreatic body and tail. A stapler is commonly used to close the pancreatic stump due to its simplicity; however, the use of a stapler is associated with the risk of metal allergy and postoperative pancreatic fistula, especially in thick pancreases. Here, we present a case of LDP without metal instruments, including staplers and clips, in a 54-year-old woman with a metal allergy and a thick pancreas. The pancreatic stump was closed using the transpancreatic mattress suture method with a polyglycolic acid sheet (PGA) and fibrin glue. The postoperative course was uneventful. Metal-free LDP is useful and can be adopted regardless of the patient's background, such as a metal allergy or pancreatic thickness.<br /> (© 2023 Asia Endosurgery Task Force and Japan Society of Endoscopic Surgery and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd.)
