Core Tip	Laparoscopic pancreatic surgery is in its infancy despite initial procedures reported two decades ago. Both laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy can be performed competently with improved perioperative outcomes, similar to those observed when minimally invasive surgical (MIS) is utilized for other purposes. However, when MIS approaches are implemented the indication is often benign or low-grade malignant pathologies. In this review we explore the evidence available regarding laparoscopic resection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, a promising approach for future widespread application.
