SPAnish DIStal PANcreatectomy Snapshot Study

Distal pancreatectomy is the surgical technique performed to treat many pancreatic diseases located in neck and tail of the pancreas. Laparoscopic approach is the gold standard but in many centres the percentage of laparoscopic approach is still low. This technique has low mortality but 30% morbidity mostly related to pancreatic fistula. Some new devices (linear stapler, energy devices and patches) seem to decrease pancreatic fistula but there is not evidence based medicine that confirm the results published usually in unicentric studies.
