Central prancreatectomy (CP) was described for benign lesions of the neck or proximal body of pancreas. Recent studies reported the efficacy of pancreaticogastrostomy with gastric partition (P-GP) as alternative method of reconstruction after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy.CP with PG-GP reconstruction was performed using open and laparoscopic approaches. Open approach was indicated in a patient with an endocrine tumor on right side of neck of pancreas. Laparoscopic approach was performed in a patient with an endocrine tumor on the neck of pancreas.
