Comparative outcomes of laparoscopic <i>vs</i> open pancreaticoduodenectomy in early-stage pancreatic cancer
LPD offers perioperative benefits, including reduced blood loss, fewer transfusions, shorter hospital stays, and improved recovery metrics, without compromising oncologic outcomes in early-stage PDAC. These findings support its selective use in high-volume centers with experienced surgeons, promoting faster recovery while maintaining long-term efficacy.
