Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD).
MethodsData of 66 patients from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital undergoing LPD from September 2012 to September 2014 were reviewed. There were 44 male and 22 female with the mean age of (58.7±10.3) years and mean body mass index of (23.5±3.9)kg/m2. Forty-five patients presented the symptoms and four of all had the history of abdominal surgery, including 2 cases of laparoscopic pancreatic surgery.
ResultsOf 66 patients underwent laparoscopic procedure, 1 patient underwent LPD combined with right hepatic resection, 1 patient underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with LPD, and 1 patient underwent LPD after laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. The mean operative time was (367±49) minutes. The mean blood loss was(193±126)ml. The rate of overall postoperative complications was 36.4%(24/66), with 4.5%(3/66) of B or C pancreatic fistula and 7.6% (5/66) of bleeding. The mean postoperative hospital stay was (18.9±12.1) days. Mean tumor size was (3.8±2.3) cm, and the mean number of lymph nodes harvested was (20.3±10.9). Forty-severn patients were diagnosed as pancreatic adenocarcinoma(n=18), cholangiocarcinoma(n=7), ampullary adenocarcinoma(n=21), and gastric cancer(n=1), respectively.
ConclusionLPD is feasible and safe under the skilled hand.
