Abstract
This is the first study to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic pancreaticoduodenectomies to open using the NSQIP database. After controlling for differences between groups, LPD is independently associated with less morbidity. In experienced hands, it appears safe and valuable to pursue refinement of minimally invasive techniques for pancreaticoduodenectomies.
