We analyzed the safety and feasibility of a hand-assisted laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (HALDP) in pigs. We performed HALDP in five cases using our original hand device (Lap Disc). The procedures in all cases were successfully performed. The Lap Disc was very useful for performing HALDP because of its compact design and simple usage. This preliminary experience suggests that this device could be used to perform HALDP as well as other procedures in humans.
