Minimally invasive pancreatic surgery has evolved rapidly, but total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy has not been widely adopted owing to its technical complexity. Hybrid laparoscopy-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (HLAPD) combines the relative ease of open surgery with the benefits of a minimally invasive approach. This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the hybrid approach compared with open surgery.
