Abstract
Introduction: Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is one of the most complicated major surgeries. The postoperative mortality and morbidity are still a burden of hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery. Aim of this study is to assess the short-term outcome of laparoscopic Whipple procedure for periampullary cancer.
Materials and methods: Case series report.
Results: From 1/2018 to 1/2019, we had performed laparoscopic Whipple procedure in 21 patients. The intracorporeal hepatico-jejunal anastomosis had been formed in all the cases. The pancreaticojejunal and gastro-jejunal anastomosis had been formed extracorporeally through small 5cm midline incision. The pancreatic duct had been drained with 8F drainage. The average operation time was 364 minutes. The average intraoperation blood loss was 175ml. Postoperative mean length of stay was 12.1 days. Pancreaticojejunal anastomosis accounted for 19,0%. Postoperative bleeding occurred in 2 patient (9%) whom were converted to open surgery for control bleeding. In our series, there was no postoperative mortality.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy is safe with low postoperative morbidity and mortality. This procedure is feasible for treatment of periampullary cancer.
