Core Tip	Open pancreaticoduodenectomy is the classic procedure for pancreatic and periampullary malignancies and some benign diseases. However, laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy has only been in application for ten years, and has been popular for only a few years. The technique used in the laparoscopic procedure is quite different from laparotomy. Thus, experienced laparotomy surgeons are required to adapt to these changes. The safety of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy by experienced surgeons in laparotomy during the initial learning curve was demonstrated in our study and resulted in faster postoperative recovery.
