Laparoscopic pancreatic surgery 329
Fernandez-Cruz et al. reporteda 35% incidence of POPF in Lap EN compared with both spleen-preserving LDP (7.7%) and LDP with splenectomy (10%) [45]. Other series report morbidity and POPF of 17–42% and 13–35%, respectively, but these studies are hindered by various definitions of POPF and use of the Clavien–Dindo classification of morbidity [44,45,48,53]. Furthermore, drain placement, use of somatostatin analogues, and post­operative imaging varies as well, indicating that morbidity and fistula rates may be underreported in these studies.
With regard to oncological parameters and long-term
outcomes, Lap EN data are sparse. Crippa et al. suggested lymph node sampling during Lap EN procedures with conversion to pancreatectomy if nodal involvement is con­firmed at the time of surgery [51]. Other authors have endorsed traditional resection over Lap EN for any neuro­endocrine pathology other than insulinoma [54]. In the Costi series, nine patients had malignant pathology at the time of operation and the authors followed patients for an average of 81 months. There was no local recurrence in any of the patients with malignant pathology, but the authors found three patients (33%) with regional recurrence of malignancy in the follow-up period [49]. Lap EN appears safe and feasible for well-selected benign tumors, but the literature supports more formal surgical approaches for larger benign disease and frank malignancy.
23.4 Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy
Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) was first described in 1994 by Gagner and Pomp in an advanced laparoscopic surgical trial to reduce postoperative mor­bidity [55]. This was followed by a series of 10 patients three years later that demonstrated a high conversion rate (40%) and long operating time (510 min) [56]. The complicated procedure demands careful dissection near the portal vein confluence during resection and then creation of three reconstructive anastomoses (biliary, intestinal, pancreatic) requiring laparoscopic suturing. In the nearly 20 years since it was introduced, a handful of case reports and retrospective series from high-volume institutions have been published on LPD, showing it to be both safe and feasible [56–61]. Some surgeons have reported favorable operative outcomes of LPD over OPD, but selection and reporting bias are possible con­founding factors to be considered [57,62,63]. In the
literature, oncological parameters, including margin sta­tus and nodal retrieval, are similar between LPD and OPD in comparison series, but again selection bias appears towards small, right-sided malignancies in the laparo­scopic cohorts [64].
Given the technical challenges of LPD, stringent patient selection guidelines have been followed by surgeons conducting the operation. Nonobese patients are more amenable to laparoscopic resection as the presence of excessive adiposity in the omentum makes the procedure more difficult. The following selection parameters are typically adhered to for eligible patients:
• pancreatic head tumors <3 cm in diameter without
evidence of vascular invasion
• well-differentiated or moderate-grade ampullary
tumors restricted to the second part of the duodenum
• lower common bile duct tumors without extrabiliary
involvement [57]. Preoperative imaging using helical computed tomogra­phy (CT) or endoscopic ultrasound (US) is a useful adjunct to carefully defining tumor extension. The tech­nical details of LPD have been given previously in the literature [55,57,58]. While no standard procedure exists, some centers favor a hand-assist approach for reconstruction while others undertake the procedure completely laparoscopically (Figure 23.5) [57,65].
Conversions to the open approach are typically for tumor adhesion to the portal vein, uncontrolled bleeding, and failure to progress[58,64]. While earlierseries showed a preference for resection of benign disease, recent publi­cations demonstrate that more malignant cases are selected, however carefully, for laparoscopic resection. With regard to malignancy, some authors prefer resecting ampullary adenocarcinoma laparoscopically because of its further distance from the SMA and SMV while other centers have selected pancreatic adenocarcinoma for resection with adequate margin status [4,29,57,59].
While the last four years have seen a rise in the number of published analyses of LPD, to date only seven papers feature 25 or more patients [57–59,64,66–68]. Average mean operating time is 440 minutes. Kim et al. noted a stepwise decrease in their median operative time with greater surgeon experience. Compared with their first 30 cases, where median operative time was 588 minutes, subsequent breakdown of an additional 70 cases showed OR time decreased to 474 and then 396 minutes [67].
Along with decreased operative times, published con­version rates in high-volume series have seen a decline,
330 Chapter 23
from 40% reported by Gagner et al. down to an average of
6.8% in the last three years [29,63,64,67,68]. Several centers are reporting 0% conversions [59,66,68]. Similar trends are evident in estimated blood loss, mean length of hospital stay, and morbidity, all likely attributable to greater surgeon proficiency and refined technique (Figure 23.6). Complication rate for LDP varies from 0 to as high as 60%. Incidence of pancreatic fistula, regardless of definition used, also has a wide range of 0–36% [59,64,66,67,69]. Mortality is low in LPD, with most series reporting 0–3 total deaths in the perioperative period (Table 23.2).
A few studies have directly compared LPD with the
open procedure [4,60,64,69]. Chalikonda et al. noted similar morbidity (30% vs 44%, P = 0.14) in an analysis of 30 cases of minimally invasive LPD compared with open PD [69]. The minimally invasive cohort had decreased length of stay (9.79 days vs 13.26 days, P = 0.043) and a longer operating time (476.2 min vs
366.4 min P = 0.0005) as well [69]. Pugliese et al. found no significant differences in morbidity (45% in LPD vs

44% in OPD), incidence of POPF (27% for both LPD and OPD) or hospital length of stay (18 days in LPD vs 18 days in OPD) in a comparison of 13 LPD with 41 open cases [60]. Cho retrospectively compared 15 LPD and 15 OPD and found no statistically significant differences in morbidity (27% vs 26%), blood loss (445 ± 384 mL vs 552 ± 336 mL), or hospital stay (16.4 ± 3.7 days vs
15.6 ± 1.3 days) [4]. Kendrick reported decreased blood loss (400 vs 600 mL, P < 0.001) and hospital length of stay (6 vs 10 days, P < 0.001) in his center’s comparison series of 52 LPD and 129 OPD [68]. Asbun et al. compared 53 LPD vs 215 OPD over a six-year period at the Mayo Clinic Florida which demonstrated a significant decrease in EBL (195 vs 1032 mL, P < 0.001), transfusion requirement (0.6 vs 4.7 units, P < 0.001), intensive care unit (ICU) stay (1 vs 3 days, P < 0.001) and hospital length of stay (8 vs 12.4 days, P < 0.001) in the LPD cohort [64]. Mor­bidity rates were equal (24.5% vs 24.7%) as well as the proportion of clinically significant (grade B/C) fistula (11% vs 15.3%) [64]. These are all unmatched,

retrospective studies with relatively small sample sizes but they demonstrate a trend toward beneficial perioperative outcomes for LPD in well-selected patients.
With regard to oncological considerations, there is a greater proportion of malignant cases in the LPD literature than in other laparoscopic pancreatic publications. Of the papers reporting tumor size, the average is 2.6 cm which corresponds to the trend of selecting small, circumscribed lesions for laparoscopic resection [57–59,64]. Mean nodal retrieval is 17, with ranges of 3–34 procured, and authors have achieved R0 margins in over 97% of LPD resections of malignancy. Kendrick reported equivocal outcomes for tumor size (3.2 vs 3.4 cm), margin-negative resection (83% vs 83%), and number of lymph nodes harvested (17 vs 18) in a recent analysis of 52 laparoscopic resections of PDAC compared with 129 open resections of the same pathology [68]. In their comparison of LPD vs OPD at the Mayo Clinic Florida, Asbun et al. reported superior nodal retrieval in the LPD cohort (23.44 vs 16.84 nodes, P < 0.001). This translated to lower lymph node ratio for
those patients with node-positive disease undergoing the laparoscopic approach (0.159 vs 0.241, P = 0.0072). Fur­thermore, they achieved R0 margins in 94.9% of laparo­scopic cases versus only 83% in the open cohort, although this difference was not statistically significant [64].
Substantial long-term oncological outcomes for LPD are not readily available owing to the paucity of literature published to date. Median follow-up is 17 months and, for papers reporting recurrences rates, these average 17.5% (range 7.5–38%) [57,58,60,67]. In their first series, Pal­anivelu et al. showed median survival of 49 months with a five-year actuarial survival rate of 32% among the 40 patients with malignancy [57]. However, there was selec­tion bias for early malignant lesions to be resected lapa­roscopically. Additional data on long-term survival will likely come with further patient surveillance.
This review demonstrates that LPD is a safe, feasible, and noninferior approach to resection of right-sided pan­creatic lesions, both benign and malignant, in well­selected patients at high-volume centers. Randomized

trials of LPD and open procedures are necessary to strengthen the assessments that can be made when com­paring the two groups. With further experience and more follow-up data on long-term patient outcomes, LPD can be better utilized for malignancy.
suited best for patients with contained tumors in the body and tail of the pancreas, and it appears to provide similar outcomes to open resection, with fewer complica­tions, lower blood loss, and shorter hospital stays for cases of similar difficulty. Laparoscopic enucleations are less com­monly performed but have a role in the management of indolent small tumors away from the main pancreatic duct.
23.5 Conclusion
The paucity of cases means that randomized evaluation of
the laparoscopic approach and the open approach is not Through improved technology and growing experience, laparoscopic pancreatic resections are being performed more commonly. Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is
feasible. Experience with laparoscopic pancreaticoduode-
nectomy is growing, but more data are necessary to prove
the value of this approach against the open procedure.
KEY POINTS
• Distal pancreatectomy can provide comparable oncological outcomes with fewer complications, lower blood loss, and shorter hospital stay when compared with open surgery.
• Laparoscopic enucleation has an important role in the management of indolent small tumors not involving or approaching the main pancreatic duct.
• Outcomes of laparoscopic versus open pancreas surgery are difficult to assess because of differences in technique, perioperative chemotherapy and chemoradiation, patient selection, surgeon and patient bias, and availability of experienced laparoscopic surgeons.
• Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is still in the developmental phase and practiced by a limited number of surgeons in selected centers.

EDITOR COMMENT
It is important to us that we provide a balanced view on the advantages of laparoscopic surgery in this book. This is especially true for laparoscopic pancreas surgery, an approach that is in its developmental stages. For this chapter we have elicited the opinion of experts to provide a critical discussion of the advantages and short-comings of laparoscopic pancreas surgery. The lack of randomized and prospective data regarding the advantages of a mini mally invasive approach over an open one, as well as some of the technical challenges of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, are highlighted. Nonetheless, the promising available retrospective data on laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and pancreatic enucleation are discussed. This chapter concludes with an excellent section on the minimally invasive management of pancreatitis, focusing on indications for intervention, timing, and approaches. This balanced and sometimes critical view on minimally invasive pancreas surgery by expert pancreatic surgeons reminds the community of the overall goals of surgery, which is excellence in outcomes.
Keywords: laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, laparoscopic enucleation, laparoscopic pancreatectomy, laparoscopic pancreatico­duodenectomy, minimally invasive management of pancreatitis
24.1 Introduction
In a number of abdominal operations, minimally invasive approaches have yielded favorable outcomes regarding postoperative pain, blood loss, recovery time, and func­tional convalescence compared with open surgery. More­over, the use of laparoscopic surgery, particularly in patients with colon cancer, has shown that the benefits of laparoscopy can be achieved without compromises on oncological outcomes [1].
The benefits of laparoscopic approaches are mainly due to reduced access trauma and minimal mechanical abdominal wall and organ retraction. The laparoscopic approach has therefore become the standard approach for a majority of abdominal surgeries performed today and an important pillar of fast-track programs for colorectal surgery. The downsides of a laparoscopic approach include difficulties in achieving adequate exposure,

resulting in a narrow working space, limited orientation in a three-dimensional space, fewer degrees of freedom with instrumentation as well as decreased haptic feed­back. In 2014, at our institution, a minimally invasive approach was selected for surgeries of the colon, rectum, appendix, gallbladder, esophagus, and spleen in 50%, 50%, 86%, 76%, 17%, and 43% of cases, respectively. These case distributions might be reflective of the use of laparoscopy at referral centers with obligations to com­plex patient care as well as student and resident training.
Gagner and Cuschieri first successfully used minimally invasive approaches for major pancreatic resections in 1994 [2,3]. However, the rapid development of this tech­nique to become the widely accepted standard approach in pancreatic surgery has been limited by several factors, including the pancreas’ retroperitoneal location and fragility of the gland, the complexity of the surrounding anatomical structures, the proximity tomajorbloodvesselsandthe

proneness of these procedures to postoperative complica­tions. Laparoscopic surgery in patients with pancreatic diseases was therefore mainly limited to diagnostic or palli­ative purposes. With the development of novel energy devices such as ultrasound dissectors and staplers, more widespread use of laparoscopic techniques for pancreatic resections occurred. The resulting case series and studies indicate promising results of the minimal invasive approach in selected cases.
The development of laparoscopic pancreas resection mir­rors the advancements in laparoscopic colon surgery: in colon surgery, the indications evolved from benign, such as diverticulosis, towards malignant tumors over time. In pancreas surgery, lesions included small endocrine tumors or in some cases cystadenomas located in the distal pan­creas, where no reconstruction following resection is needed. With increasing experience with the technique, some surgeons have expanded the indications to small malignant lesions in the pancreas. However, obtaining a negative resection margin and performing adequate lymph node dissection are nonetheless pivotal for oncological
outcome and only sparse data exist indicating equivalence of open and laparoscopic techniques for pancreas surgery. Therefore, most surgeons still do not use laparoscopy for pancreatic surgery or limit the laparoscopic approach to benign and low-grade malignant lesions confinedtothe pancreas. In our experience, because of the aggressive biology of pancreatic cancer, few patients present with malignant lesions that are eligible for a laparoscopic approach, which makes these indications at our institution relatively rare. This in turn reduces the case volume availa­ble to ascend the steep learning curve that exists for these difficult laparoscopic procedures.
Despite the observed overall reduction in the operative morbidity of pancreatic surgery over the last decades, these operations are still associated with a high rate of severe complications and perioperative mortality com­pared with nonpancreatic procedures. Although the extent of the access trauma (i.e. laparotomy vs laparos­copy) accounts for some of the overall morbidity, in large pancreatic resections the procedural trauma may far exceed the access trauma [4] (Figure 24.3).
