Standardizing definitions and terminology of left-sided pancreatic resections through an international Delphi consensus

F. Espin in collaboration with International Guidelines for minimally invasive pancreàtic surgery.

In this study, new terminology for different types of left-sided pancreatic resection has been suggested by a large group of experts in the field of pancreatic surgery through a Delphi consensus process. Traditional DP refers to a heterogeneous group of left-sided pancreatic resections, whereas this new terminology distinguishes between the different types, with the aim of enabling better surgical reporting, understanding, and comparison.
