The surgical technique was as follows. First, the gastrohepatic ligament was divided extensively, and all subsequent dissections around the superior border of the pancreas were performed through the open gastrohepatic ligament. After the common hepatic and splenic arteries were isolated, the splenic artery was ligated or divided. Toldt's fusion fascia was then dissected toward the upper pole of the spleen, and Gerota's fascia was identified. The gastropancreatic fold was dissected from the proximal to the distal side. Depending on the tumor status, Gerota's fascia was dissected toward the upper pole of the spleen at the cranial side of the pancreas, and the left adrenal gland was exposed.
