[Technique of medial pancreatectomie].
Medial pancreatectomy is indicated for resection of benign or low-malignant tumors located in the middle part of the pancreas and not treatable by enucleation. This unfrequent procedure, the alternative of which is mainly left pancreatectomy, aims to preserve at the most pancreatic function.
