title: The application of a newly developed linear stapler preloaded with tissue reinforcement for distal pancreatectomy in the management of ovarian cancer.
abstract: Advanced ovarian cancer may extend into the spleen, and even the pancreatic tail, in which a splenectomy associated with distal pancreatectomy is crucial for optimal cytoreduction. A new linear stapler preloaded with tissue reinforcement is currently introduced. We herein report the first three cases of successful application of this device for distal pancreatectomy performed during cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer.
