Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Gastrointestinal surgery
  • Surgical oncology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic pancreatic surgery is gaining traction for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
  • Recent multicenter studies consolidate European and global experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current applications and outcomes of laparoscopic pancreatic surgery.
  • To evaluate its efficacy in treating pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, and benign lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of case reports and multicenter studies on laparoscopic pancreatic surgery.
  • Analysis of data regarding tumor staging, pancreatitis treatment, and lesion management.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic surgery is effective for staging pancreatic cancer and treating pancreatitis and benign lesions.
  • Left-sided resections are predominant (90%), with good outcomes.
  • Conversion rate is 14%, mortality 0%, reoperation rate 6.3%, and fistula rate 17% (comparable to open surgery).
  • Mean postoperative hospital stay is 7 days.
  • Laparoscopic Whipple resection remains uncommon (<3% of cases).

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic pancreatic surgery is a viable and effective alternative to open procedures for selected conditions.
  • It offers comparable safety profiles and reduced recovery times.
  • Further research and standardization are needed, especially for complex procedures like the Whipple resection.
