Laparoscopic pancreatic surgery in a single setting
Author(s): Edward Williamson*
Over the last decade, laparoscopic surgery for benign and malignant pancreatic tumours has progressively gained favour and is now being used in many centres. Some studies show that this method is as good as or better than open surgery, although randomised data is needed to determine the outcome. By pooling high-quality published material, we want to give a thorough review of the state of the art in laparoscopic pancreatic surgery in this Review. The benefits, restrictions, oncological effectiveness, learning curve, and most recent advancements are all highlighted. Although the focus is on the laparoscopic Whipple technique and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for both benign and malignant illness, robot-assisted surgery is also discussed. Surgical and oncological results, as well as quality of life and cost-effectiveness of laparoscopic pancreatic surgery, are examined. We've al.. Read More»
