Abstract

The resection of pancreas is an extremely challenging field for either laparoscopic or open approaches, and the evolution of the surgical treatment still continues. Although the laparoscopic surgical procedures decrease morbidities related to surgical trauma, we still require at least 4 or 5 trocar site incisions. Single-access laparoscopic procedures are gaining more popularity over the recent years, and as the surgical center of performing the first single-incision splenectomy and pancreas resection, herein, we will discuss the technical details of single-access laparoscopic pancreas resection together with its advantages and disadvantages.
