Introduction: Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is one of the most complex gastrointestinal procedures performed in laparoscopic abdominal surgery. However, the concern for elderly undergoing LPD remains. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports describing LPD for A-92-older patient. This study aimed to share the experience of a tertiary pancreatic center and confirm the safety, feasibility of LPD for the elderly.
Method: The patient had complained of 6-months history of abdominal discomfort and progressive jaundice. Abdominal computed tomography CT/MR imaging revealed a 3 × 3 cm solid hypovascular mass in the head of the pancreas. LPD was successfully performed after multidisciplinary team (MDT). Operation time was 450 minutes, and blood loss was 120 mL. Histological examination of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Outcomes: The patient was discharged on POD13 following an uneventful postoperative period. She was followed up 4 months without any sign of recurrence.
Conclusion: LPD can be performed safely in patients of any age who are fit for surgery in specialist centers.

The postoperative overall survival of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is not optimal. The aim of this study was to explore the perioperative risk factors for overall survival after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). From January 2015 to January 2022, consecutive patients who underwent LPD with a pathological diagnosis of PDAC at our center were included in the study.

Background: Pancreatic enucleation is indicated for selected patients and tumours with very low oncological risk to preserve a maximum of healthy pancreatic parenchyma. Minimally invasive pancreatic enucleation (MIPE) is increasingly performed. This study aims to assess the impact of tumor location and center experience on textbook outcomes (TBO) in patients undergoing MIPE.

/: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of modified Blumgart anastomosis methods during pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) on the incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD). : This is a retrospective cohort study analyzing data of patients who underwent LPD from 2018 to 2022. The primary endpoint was the incidence of grade B and C POPF based on the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula criteria and PJ anastomosis time.

Introduction And Importance: Insulinomas are rare pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms with an incidence of one to four cases per million annually and a 5 % to 10 % association with hereditary multiple endocrine neoplasia type-1. While most insulinomas are benign and well-encapsulated, approximately 6 % may have malignant potential. Intraoperative localization remains a vital component of treatment, often facilitated by modern imaging techniques like intraoperative ultrasound and fluorescence modalities.

Post-surgical biliary complications increase morbidity, mortality, and healthcare utilization. Early detection and management of biliary complications is thus of great clinical importance. Even though the overall risk for biliary complications is low after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, post-cholecystectomy biliary complications are frequently encountered in clinical practice as laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common surgical procedure performed in the United States.
