However, SILS is not a common procedure for pancreatic surgery. We describe our first experience with a SILS approach in a patient with a metastatic pancreatic tumor. We performed a SILS distal pancreatectomy (SILS-DP) using 3 trocars placed through a single port at an umbilical incision. In our case, the most important surgical technique was the stomach-hanging method to obtain a favorable laparoscopic view of the pancreas. Although SILS-DP is a safe and feasible procedure, further studies are required to determine the advantages of this procedure in comparison with the standard laparoscopic method., Hepato-Gastroenterology, 58(107-108), pp.1022-1024; 2011}, pages = {1022--1024}, title = {Single-incision laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.}, volume = {58}, year = {2011} }
