Benign or Premalignant Pancreatic Diseases
Consensus was reached to postpone surgery for benign and premalignant pancreatic diseases, including IPMNs, pNETs, chronic pancreatitis, and infected pancreatic necrosis. Exceptions comprise life threatening complications of chronic pancreatitis or infected pancreatic necrosis, symptomatic pNETs without effective alternative treatment options, or pNETs or IPMNs with suspicion for malignancy (statements 9–14).
