Enucleation of Pancreatic Tumors Procedure

Enucleation of Pancreatic Tumors

A subset of benign or low-grade pancreatic tumors can be safely enucleated (carefully scooped out of the pancreas with a razor thin margin between tumor and pancreas) rather than requiring more extensive surgical removal of a portion of the pancreas. This strategy is technically demanding, but preserves pancreatic tissue and function.
