Local Resection of an Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas: A Case Report

Abstract

This article retrospectively analyzes the surgical treatment of a 68-year-old male with pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) in the neck and head, involving laparoscopic robot-assisted resection. Post-surgery, he experienced pancreatic and biliary leakage, successfully treated with drugs and nasobiliary drainage. He has recovered well during follow-up. The article discusses local resection challenges, complication management, intraoperative bile duct dissection techniques, and the importance of precise tumor-pancreatic duct relationship judgment and postoperative drainage monitoring, offering insights for IPMN surgical treatment.
