Abstract
Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy continues to compare favourably with ODP when wellâmatched patient series are reviewed. The results show a decreased need for blood transfusions and hospital resources in LDP. Additionally, there may be oncologic advantages associated with LDP compared with ODP in pancreatic malignancies.
