    Author: Al-Kurd A, Chapchay K, Grozinsky-Glasberg S, Mazeh H.
    Journal: World J Gastroenterol; 2014 May 07; 20(17):4908-16. PubMed ID: 24803802.
    Abstract:
    Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are a rare heterogeneous group of endocrine neoplasms. Surgery remains the best curative option for this type of tumor. Over the past two decades, with the development of laparoscopic pancreatic surgery, an increasingly larger number of PNET resections are being performed by these minimally-invasive techniques. In this review article, the various laparoscopic surgical options for the excision of PNETs are discussed. In addition, a summary of the literature describing the outcome of these treatment modalities is presented.
