PURPOSE: To evaluate the indications for and the outcomes from distal pancreatectomy. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of 171 patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy at Brigham and Women's Hospital between January 1996 and August 2005. RESULTS: Nearly one-third of distal pancreatectomies were performed as part of an en bloc resection for a contiguous or metastatic tumor. Fifty-six percent of the patients underwent a standard distal pancreatectomy +/- splenectomy (group 1), whereas 44% of distal pancreatic resections included additional organs or contiguous intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal tumor (group 2). The overall post-operative complication rate was 37%; the most common complication was pancreatic duct leak (23%). When compared to patients undergoing standard distal pancreatectomy, those with a more extensive resection including multiple viscera and/or metastatic or contiguous tumor resection had no significant difference in overall complication rate (35% v. 39%, p = 0.75), leak rate (25% v. 20%, p = 0.47), new-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (3% v. 4%, p = 1.0), and mortality (2% v. 4%, p = 0.656). CONCLUSION: This series includes a large number of patients in whom distal pancreatectomy was performed as part of a multivisceral resection or with en bloc resection of contiguous tumor. Complications were no different in these patients when compared to patients undergoing straightforward distal pancreatectomy.
