PURPOSE: With the advancement of laparoscopic techniques and instruments, laparoscopic approach for @entity660 has become an increasingly used procedure. But, there are few and limited studies about laparoscopic enuleation (LE) for @entity660 . Therefore, the purpose of this study was to present our experience and to evaluate the clinical outcome of LE for pancreatic benign or borderline @entity5 . METHODS: Between May 2005 and December 2011, 11 @entity1 who underwent LE were analyzed. Candidates for LE met the following criteria: benign or borderline malignant @entity788 , no involvement of main pancreatic duct, and outwardly growing @entity5 with small @entity5 bed. RESULTS: All 11 @entity1 (10 @entity1 and 1 @entity1 with a mean age of 43.1    11.9 years) who underwent LE were completed laparoscopically without conversion. The mean diameter of @entity5 was 4.0    3.3 cm and all cases had @entity5 at the final pathologic diagnosis. One @entity1 (9%) developed @entity3472 and mean postoperative hospital stay was 5.5    1.7 days. During follow-up period (mean, 44.3    23.9 months), all @entity1 were alive with no recurrence or new onset of @entity6 . CONCLUSION: LE is a safe and effective procedure, and should be considered as a treatment option for @entity660 that do not involve the main pancratic duct and have an outgrowing aspect with small @entity5 bed.
