In this article, they evaluated the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) compared to open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) performed in a total of 54 patients, 23 and 31 respectively, after which they were able to determine that the best option is LPD in appropriately selected patients.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PC) is an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer, but major complications can occur, resulting in increased postoperative morbidity and mortality, such as healthcare-associated infections and pancreatic fistulas.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been developed with the intention of achieving satisfactory oncologic results with considerable advantages.
