Background:

Laparoscopic pancreatic resections, ranging from enucleation to pancreaticoduodenectomy, are not yet standard practice for most pancreatic diseases.
Traditional open surgery remains the predominant approach for pancreatic resections.
Technological advancements are crucial for the wider adoption of laparoscopic pancreatic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the experience and world literature on hand-assisted laparoscopic pancreatic resection.
To evaluate the potential of hand-assisted techniques in advancing laparoscopic pancreatic surgery.

Main Methods:

Review of institutional experience with hand-assisted laparoscopic pancreatic resection.
Comprehensive review of existing world literature on the topic.
Description of the hand-assisted laparoscopic technique, involving a surgeon's hand inserted through a small laparotomy.

Main Results:

Encouraging initial results have been reported for hand-assisted laparoscopic pancreatic resection.
The technique facilitates dissection, palpation, retraction, vessel control, organ manipulation, and specimen removal.

Conclusions:

Hand-assisted laparoscopic pancreatic resection shows promise for improving outcomes in pancreatic surgery.
This technique is expected to offer substantial advantages for the future diffusion of laparoscopic pancreatic surgery.
Further adoption of hand-assisted methods could expand the role of minimally invasive approaches in treating pancreatic diseases.
