One hundred and forty five total laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomies: A single centre experience.

Introduction: Laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) remains one of the most challenging minimal invasive operations today.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2007 and December 2016, 197 patients were scheduled for LPD but 162 patients (from January 2007 to July 2016) were analysed in this cohort series.

Results: Total LPD concerned for 162 patients (five patients did not undergo PD and 12 underwent conversion): standard LPD in 104 patients (66%), and laparoscopic pylorus-preserving PD in 41 patients (26%).
