Laparoscopic pancreatic resection was first introduced in 1994 by Gagner and Pomp [1] and Cushieri [2]. Using the criteria of Cushieri and Jakimowicz [3], the probable benefit of minimally invasive surgery over conventional open surgery depends on the ratio of access to procedural trauma. In pancreatoduodenectomy, the access trauma forms only a small component of the total operative insult to the patient.
