Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD)has been safely performed by experts with favorable surgical outcomes.However,the feasibility of LPD remains controversial.LPD is generally considered a challenging operation that requires advanced laparoscopic techniques.In particular,pancreatic reconstruction can be safely performed by only laparoscopic experts.Thus,guidelines created by LPD experts are valuable in indicating the future direction of LPD.Qin et al.developed practical guidelines regarding the safety and feasibility of LPD with 28 international experts from eight countries(1).To create these guidelines,the first summit on minimally invasive pancreatico-biliary surgery was held in Wuhan,China,to promote the development of LPD.Based on a systematic literature review and expert opinions,16 statements were created by the experts.These statements provide useful guidelines not only for surgical trainees who will attempt LPD but also for specialized surgeons.This expert consensus will contribute to the safe implementation of LPDs in the future.
