Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in pancreatic surgery faces slow adoption despite documented advantages.
  • Reasons for reluctance include technical challenges and learning curves.
  • Laparoscopic distal or left-sided pancreatic resections are emerging as standard for body/tail lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in laparoscopic left pancreatectomy (LLP).
  • To discuss the potential future developments in LLP.
  • To highlight the benefits of MIS in pancreatic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on laparoscopic left pancreatectomy.
  • Analysis of technological evolution and surgical experience in LLP.
  • Evaluation of safety, blood loss, oncological, and economic outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy shows significant advantages over open procedures.
  • Benefits include improved safety, reduced blood loss, and shorter hospital stays.
  • Oncological and economic feasibility are also demonstrated.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic left pancreatectomy is becoming a standard approach for pancreatic body and tail lesions.
  • Continued technological advancement and accumulating experience will further promote LLP.
  • MIS offers a viable and advantageous alternative to open pancreatic surgery.
