Description
Summary:Although the majority of neuroendocrine tumors of the small intestine (siNETs) classified as low-grade G1 or G2 show slow local growth, they are frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage of metastatic disease. The surgical treatment is curative in stages I-III or palliative in stage IV in an attempt to avoid local complications of bowel obstruction and ischemia of the small bowel by unremoved lymph node metastases. Individualized surgical procedures performed by experienced surgeons considering tumor multifocality and the primary extent of lymph node metastases along the mesenteric vessels are recommended to remove as much tumor volume as possible, while avoiding major complications intraoperatively and small bowel syndrome postoperatively.
