Abstract Background:Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) are rare neoplasms associated with a long life expectancy after resection. In this setting, patients may benefit from laparoscopic organ-sparing resection. Studies of laparoscopic organ-sparing resection for PNENs are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic organ-sparing resection for PNENs.Methods: A retrospective study was performed for patients with PNENs who underwent laparoscopic organ-sparing pancreatectomy between March 2005 and May 2018. The patients’ demographic data, operative results, pathological reports, hospital courses and morbidity, mortality, and follow-up data (until August 2018) were analysed.Results:Thirty-five patients were included in the final analysis. There were 9 male and 26 female patients, with a median age of 46 years (range, 25-75 years). The mean BMI was 24.6±3.3 kg/m2. Nine patients received laparoscopic enucleation (LE), 20 received laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP), and 6 received laparoscopic central pancreatectomy. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, transfusion rate, and postoperative hospital stay were 186.4±60.2 min, 165±73.0 ml, 0 d, and 9 d (range, 5-23 d), respectively. The morbidity rate, grade ≥III complication rate and grade ≥B pancreatic fistula rate were 34.2%, 11.4%, and 8.7%, respectively, with no mortality. The rate of follow-up was 94.3%, and the median follow-up time was 55 months (range, 3-158 months). One patient developed recurrence 36 months after LE and was managed with surgical resection. The other patients survived without metastases or recurrence during the follow-up. One patient had diabetes after laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, and no patients had symptoms of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. Conclusions: Laparoscopic organ-sparing resection for selected cases of PNENs is safe and feasible and has favourable short- and long-term outcomes.

Objective: Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is a rare and complex disease. In 1996, we described a 3 generation VHL 2A kindred with 11 mutation carriers. We aim to share our experience regarding the long-term follow-up of this family and the management of all our other VHL patients focusing on frequently encountered neuroendocrine neoplasms: pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma and pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNEN). Methods: All VHL patients in follow-up at our tertiary center from 1980 to 2019 were identified. Clinical, laboratory, imaging, and therapeutic characteristics were retrospectively analyzed. Results: We identified 32 VHL patients in 16 different families, 7/16 were classified as VHL 2 subtype. In the previously described family, the 4 initially asymptomatic carriers developed a neuroendocrine tumor; 7 new children were born, 3 of them being mutation carriers; 2 patients died, 1 due to metastatic PNEN-related liver failure. Pheochromocytoma was frequent (22/32), bilateral (13/22;59%), often diagnosed in early childhood when active screening was timely performed, associated with paraganglioma in 5/22, rarely malignant (1/22), and recurred after surgery in some cases after more than 20 years. PNEN occurred in 8/32 patients (25%), and was metastatic in 3 patients. Surgery and palliative therapy allowed relatively satisfactory outcomes. Severe disabling morbidities due to central-nervous system and ophthalmologic hemangiomas, and other rare tumors as chondrosarcoma in 2 patients and polycythemia in 1 patient were observed. Conclusion: A multidisciplinary approach and long-term follow-up is mandatory in VHL patients to manage the multiple debilitating morbidities and delay mortality in these complex patients.
