Tumors arising in the body/tail of the pancreas tend to be diagnosed at a more advanced stage, with a lower rate of resectability compared to disease of the head. Distal pancreatectomy (DP) associated to multivisceral resections (MVR) can represent a surgical option for selected patients with advanced tumors.We retrospectively analyzed data of patients who underwent DP associated with MVR at our Institution over a 9-year period, and compared them to standard DP. MVR was defined as resection of at least one additional organ or vascular structure because of neoplastic involvement.Out of 508 DP, in 59 cases MVR was performed.
