Distal Pancreatectomy with and without splenectomy Techniques

This video tells the basic steps for distal pancreatectomy with or without splenic preservation. The video also discusses the Warshaw technique for distal pancreatectomy.
Splenic artery and vein ligation is performed in distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy.
In the end, the video explains the management of pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy. Drain placement is usually sufficient. If the fistula I prolong ERCP with or without stenting may be needed.
Do not forget to ensure post-splenectomy vaccines were administered.
Remember the 3 vaccine - Hemophilus Influenza, Meningococcus, and Pneumococcus vaccinations.
