Surgeons can safely perform a remnant-sparing distal pancreatectomy using fluorescence guidance for select patients with metachronous pancreatic cancer after Whipple procedure.
- The procedure was completed in 123 minutes with only 20 ml of blood loss.
- Post-op, the patient had a normal amylase level and was discharged by day 5 with no complications.
This approach preserves pancreatic function while effectively addressing oncology needs.
- At six months, the patient remains recurrence-free and retains stable endocrine and exocrine functions.
