Brief summary

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is considered one of the most complex and dangerous procedures in general surgery. This procedure is the preferred surgical procedure for treating tumors around the ampulla. Traditional open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) has brought great surgical trauma to patients while treating diseases. In 1994, Gagner et al first reported laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD). With the development of laparoscopic techniques, the updating of devices, and the continuous accumulation of laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery experience, the results of retrospective studies published show that there is no significant difference in safety between LPD and OPD. However, the results of the recently published RCT study show that the mortality associated with LPD complications is five times greater than that of OPD. At present, the security of LPD has been controversial. Therefore we conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial with a primary outcome of perioperative complications, providing evidence-based results for the safe and effective clinical development of LPD.

Interventions

During laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon makes several smaller incisions in your abdomen and inserts special instruments, including a camera that transmits video to a monitor in the operating room. The surgeon watches the monitor to guide the surgical tools in performing the Whipple procedure. Laparoscopic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery.

During an open procedure, your surgeon makes an incision in your abdomen in order to access your pancreas. This is the most common approach and the most studied.
