This article discusses the need for standardizing definitions and terminology of left-sided pancreatic resections. The authors argue that using a broad term like "DP" to refer to a heterogeneous group of procedures can lead to inaccurate data and hinder progress in the field. They call for consensus among surgeons to establish clear definitions and terminology for left-sided pancreatic resections. The article then discusses the development of standardized terminology through a Delphi consensus process involving experts in the field of pancreatic surgery. The proposed terminology aims to provide clarity and improve surgical reporting, understanding, and comparison. [Extracted from the article]
