    Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) is complex due to the relationship between pancreatic lesions and splenic vessels.

  • 2

    Preoperative 3D reconstruction enhances anatomical understanding and surgical planning compared to traditional 2D imaging.

  • 3

    In a pilot study, 3D reconstruction influenced surgical strategies regarding spleen management in two patients undergoing LDP.

  • 4

    Intraoperative findings confirmed the accuracy of preoperative 3D assessments in both cases of the pilot study.

  • 5

    The study suggests that 3D reconstruction may support personalized surgical planning, particularly for spleen preservation.
