Purpose of Review

Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) are rare entities arising from hormone producing cells in the gastroentero-pancreatic (GEP) tract. Surgery is the most common treatment of GEP-NETs.

Recent Findings

Improvements in surgical techniques allow for more locally advanced and metastasised GEP-NETs to be resected. Laparoscopic and robotically--assisted approaches are increasingly being utilised in the resection of selected GEP-NETs and are facilitated by novel intraoperative tumour localisation tools and parenchyma-sparing methods. At the same time, some authors suggest that indications for formal resections of small well differentiated non-functioning pancreatic NETs and appendiceal NETs should be more restrictive.

Summary

Advancements in surgery allows for tissue-sparing resections of GEP-NETs. Indications for surgical resection and the extent of the procedure are highly dependent on GEP-NET size, localisation and grading. Robotically assisted surgeries with intraoperative ultrasound and visualisation methods as well as vessel-sparing radical retrograde lymphadenectomies for small intestinal NETs seem to be the future of GEP-NET surgery.
