Abstract
Despite debates regarding the safety of well-selected left-sided pancreatic cancer, minimally invasive distal pancreatosplenectomy is considered safer and more effective than open distal pancreatosplenectomy in well-selected patients. Previous studies have shown that minimally invasive surgery yields comparable oncologic outcomes to open surgery. While patients who undergo minimally invasive distal pancreatosplenectomy also experience recurrences and metastases after surgery, port-site metastasis is particularly rare. In this report, we report an extremely rare case of port-site metastasis following minimally invasive distal pancreatosplenectomy for left-sided pancreatic cancer.
