Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) offers advantages over open surgery with similar oncologic outcomes. This review highlights LDP

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Technological advancements have made complex procedures like distal pancreatectomy more feasible.
  • Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) presents benefits such as reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and less pain compared to open distal pancreatectomy (ODP).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing studies on Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy (LDP).
  • To discuss critical technical aspects for safe and effective LDP.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of previous studies comparing LDP and ODP.
  • Analysis of reported oncologic results, complications, and learning curves.

Main Results:

  • LDP and ODP demonstrate comparable outcomes in terms of pancreatic fistulas, oncologic results, costs, and indications.
Keywords:

  • Morbidity rates are low in high-volume centers, with a recommended learning curve of at least ten cases.
  • Several studies have identified key technical considerations for successful LDP.

    • Conclusions:

    • LDP is a safe and effective procedure with comparable outcomes to ODP.
    • Mastering LDP requires adherence to specific technical points and adequate experience.
    • Further research into optimizing LDP techniques can enhance patient outcomes.
