Abstract
Functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) necessitate surgical resection. Enucleation is the preferred surgical method for well-differentiated pNETs that measure less than 2 cm in diameter, as it offers a greater likelihood of enhancing post-operative recovery and decreasing morbidity and mortality. Insulinomas are particularly suitable for enucleation when such a procedure is viable. However, enucleating tumors within the uncinate process of the pancreas, especially on its posterior aspect, can present substantial challenges. The accompanying video illustrates a robotic-assisted enucleation of an insulinoma in the uncinate process, performed on a 41-year-old male with recurrent hypoglycemia. This intervention led to the resolution of symptoms and incurred minimal post-operative morbidity.
期刊介绍：
Updates in Surgery (UPIS) has been founded in 2010 as the official journal of the Italian Society of Surgery. It’s an international, English-language, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the surgical sciences. Its main goal is to offer a valuable update on the most recent developments of those surgical techniques that are rapidly evolving, forcing the community of surgeons to a rigorous debate and a continuous refinement of standards of care. In this respect position papers on the mostly debated surgical approaches and accreditation criteria have been published and are welcome for the future.
Beside its focus on general surgery, the journal draws particular attention to cutting edge topics and emerging surgical fields that are publishing in monothematic issues guest edited by well-known experts.
Updates in Surgery has been considering various types of papers: editorials, comprehensive reviews, original studies and technical notes related to specific surgical procedures and techniques on liver, colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, robotic and bariatric surgery.
