Core Tip	There are about 300 published cases of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for adenocarcinoma reported in the English literature. None of these cases has been included in randomized prospective work and it is doubtful that such a study will ever be conducted. This objective of this review was to evaluate the appropriateness of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy as treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The results suggest that this minimally invasive technique may be safely applied to treat the disease in addition to the other more established indications for the operation.
