Abstract

Background: The most common types of true epithelial exocrine pancreatic cystic neoplasms are serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs), mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs), intra-ductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), and solid pseudo-papillary neoplasms (SPPNs). Both open and laparoscopic pancreatic surgeries are major procedures with significant morbidity and mortality rates. This study aimed to determine the outcomes of laparoscopic pancreatic surgery in managing true exocrine epithelial pancreatic cystic neoplasms in terms of postoperative pancreatic fistula and recurrence rate and to identify associated risk factors.
