Abstract
Thirtyone females and three males were included in this study There were no significant differences in age blood glucose hemoglobin and albumin between the two groups The surgical time for patients with a standard resection was longer 225 vs 124 min P = 0004 the transfusion rate was higher 526 vs 133 P = 0030 and the hospital stay was prolonged 21 vs 16 days P = 0034 in comparison to those who underwent a minimized resection The complications rate in the standard resection group was higher than that in the minimized resection group although no significant difference was found 421 vs 267 P = 0476 The longterm followup showed that all of the patients survived without recurrence except for one patient who died of other diseases 29 months after surgeryA solid pseudopapillary tumor is a latent malignant tumor with excellent prognosis after its complete removal When feasible a minimized resection such as enucleation and a segmental pancreatectomy is a suitable approach with excellent early and longterm results
