Objective To summarize the application status and prospect of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Method The relevant literatures about studies of LPD at home and abroad were reviewed.Results LPD was a difficult operation, mainly suitable for pancreatic head and periampullary benign and malignant tumors. With the development of laparoscopic techniques in recent years, LPD combined the superior mesenteric vein and portal vein resection and reconstruction, or combined multi-visceral resection was feasible, but the survival benefit of LPD with arterial resection and reconstruction and extended lymph node dissection remained to be discussed. At present, there was no clear requirement on the way to reconstruct the pancreatic fluid outflow tract, but the pancreaticojejunostomy for digestive tract reconstruction was chose by the most surgeons. The most studies had confirmed that LPD was minimally invasive and had a short-term prognosis that was not inferior to that of open pancreaticoduodenectomy. However, the results of large sample analysis about long-term survival rate and oncology results were lacking, so it was difficult to judge the advantages and disadvantages of long-term prognosis of the two methods.Conclusions LPD is a safe, feasible, reasonable, and effective surgical method. With improvement of laparoscopic technology, LPD is expected to become a standard operation method for treatment of pancreatic head cancer and periampullary carcinoma, and oncology benefits of LPD will be further confirmed in future by large-sample clinical randomized control trials and studies of long-term prognosis follow-up.
