Enucleation Versus Conventional Pancreatic Resection in Pediatric Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm: A Retrospective Analysis of Short- and Long-Term Outcomes

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a rare low-grade malignant tumor. Conventional pancreatic resection (CP) can severely compromise pancreatic function, whereas enucleation (EN), a pancreas-preserving technique, has gradually gained traction in pediatric patients. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of enucleation (EN) and conventional pancreatic resection (CP) in pediatric patients with SPNs.
