Abstrakt: Introduction: Distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) is an operation technically demanding, uncommonly performed, even in high-volume pancreatic centers, which may offer a curative resection in patients with locally advanced cancer of the body of the pancreas, otherwise considered unresectable.
Presentation of Case: We present, in clinical and technical detail, a patient with DP-CAR with a very good intraoperative and postoperative course, no complications, short hospital stay, and histology consistent with a curative resection.
Discussion: Because of the scarcity of DP-CAR, even high-volume individual centers have been able to gather relatively limited experience, and only in a time frame of more than a decade each.
Conclusion: DP-CAR can be curative for a minority of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and is performed only in centers with a long, dedicated interest in advanced pancreatic surgery with a well-known track record in resection of borderline and locally advanced pancreatic cancer involving major peripancreatic veins.
