Objective To investigate the role of local pancreatectomy for benign and low-grade malignant pancreatic tumors.Method The clinical data of 45 patients with benign and low-grade malignant pancreatic tumors who underwent local pancreatectomy from January 2014 to June 2019 in Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology were analyzed.Results Forty-five patients underwent the local enucleation or resection with negative margin. The pathological results showed that there were 17 cases of solid pseudopapilloma, 5 cases of mucinous cystadenoma, 4 cases of serous cystadenoma, 10 cases of islet cell tumor, 5 cases of nonfunctional neuroendocrine tumor, 4 cases of congenital cyst. There were 6 cases of head of pancreas, 26 cases of body of pancreas, 8 cases of tail of pancreas, 5 cases of uncinate process. The tumor was 1.2 to 9.0 cm in diameter with an average of 3.2 cm. Among them, the diameter was more than 5.0 cm in 9 cases. The incidence of pancreatic fistula after operation was 57.8%, 65.4% was grade A fistula, 34.6% was grade B fistula, and no grade C fistula occurred. The incidence of abdominal infection was 13.3%, incidence of abdominal hemorrhage was 6.7%. There was no secondary diabetes mellitus and pancreatic endo- and exocrine dysfunction, and no death case.Conclusions Pancreatic enucleation for benign and low-grade malignant pancreatic tumors after strict preoperative evaluation can effectively preserve the pancreatic endocrine function of patients. Although the incidence of pancreatic fistula is high, it is mostly biochemical fistula, and the incidence of serious complications is low.
