Comparison of Kimura Versus Warshaw Technique for Laparoscopic Spleen-Preserving Distal Pancreatectomy
Sponsor: Fudan University
Summary
This study aims to compare the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy using the Kimura technique versus the Warshaw technique. The primary focus is on the rates of unplanned splenectomy, occurrence of severe complications, as well as intraoperative and perioperative outcomes of both techniques.

Laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy using the Kimura technique
The laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy using the Kimura technique is defined as a surgical procedure that aims to remove the distal part of the pancreas while preserving the spleen by maintaining the splenic artery and vein (Hepatogastroenterology. 2003;50:2242).
Laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy using the Warshaw technique
Warshaw technique laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy is defined as a surgical procedure that aims to preserve the spleen while removing the distal part of the pancreas. It involves ligating the splenic artery and vein, while preserving the left gastroepiploic artery and short gastric vessels (Arch Surg. 1988;123:550).
