Résumé
Here, we describe laparoscopic colectomy with spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy for descending colon cancer with pancreatic tail invasion. A 69-year-old man with descending colon cancer staged as clinical state IIIC (cT4b [pancreas] N1M0) underwent definitive laparoscopic surgery that was performed in collaboration with surgeons who specialize in laparoscopic colorectal and hepatobiliary-pancreatic laparoscopy. After the left colon was mobilized, tumor infiltration of the pancreas, but not the splenic vessels, was confirmed, and the spleen was preserved. The procedures were safely completed laparoscopically, without intraoperative and postoperative complications. Laparoscopic multivisceral resection could be a treatment option for similar patients but only when performed by multidisciplinary specialists.
