It was designed to establish a new surgical approach, with intension to increase possibility of achieving negative posterior (retroperitoneal) resection margin, as well as to provide complete N1 lymph node clearance. Outline of cases We present two cases with diagnosed left-sided pancreatic tumors, who were surgi-cally treated in our hepato-pancreato-biliary department. Both patients underwent posterior RAMPS procedure. Postoperative course was uneventful in both patients. Conclusion RAMPS is a safe procedure because it provides complete vascular and bleeding control. It is a superior procedure in oncologic terms compared to SRPS, as it increases the rate of R0 resection, and provides larger number of lymph nodes harvested. Furthermore, RAMPS is associated with better overall survival. © 2021, Serbia Medical Society. All rights reserved.distal pancreatectomyleft-sided pancreatic tumorspancreatic carcinomaRAMPS
