Pancreatectomies for Pediatric Pancreatic Tumors: A Single Institute Experience from 2007 to 2018

Retrospective analysis of 104 pediatric pancreatectomy cases (2007-2018) demonstrates that organ-sparing resection techniques achieve excellent long-term outcomes (90.4% disease-free survival) despite higher short-term complication rates, particularly pancreatic fistula (35.6%). Study supports organ preservation as preferred approach for pediatric pancreatic tumors.
