  abstractNote={Total duodenopancreatectomy (TDP), performed exclusively by laparoscopic approach is considered one of the most complex abdominal surgical procedures. TDP with preservation of spleen vessels (operation Kimura) is a more technically-demanding procedure, but is beneficial in selected cases. While some high-volume centers have gained experience in minimally-invasive pancreatectomies, laparoscopic approach remains a recommendation for well selected patients with benign or low-grade malignant tumors and should be performed with caution, by experienced HPB surgeons. In this paper, we present a spleen preserving, splenic vessels spearing, pure laparoscopic TDP on a 40-year-old patient diagnosed with diffuse IPMN performed in our center, illustrating the operative steps.},
