title: Median pancreatectomy: a report of three cases.
abstract: Conventional pancreatic resections may be unnecessary for tumors of the pancreas that are benign or of low malignant potential and can place the patient at increased risk of developing postoperative exocrine and endocrine complications. Median pancreatectomy is an option that has been investigated in the management of such tumors located in the body of the pancreas. We present our experience with three women who underwent this procedure successfully for neuroendocrine tumors (2) and cystadenoma (1).
