Core Tip	This review discusses recent advances in laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP), minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD), and enucleation. Recent studies show that LDP have improved perioperative recovery and equivalent oncologic outcomes. Studies on MIPD demonstrate that it is safe in terms of intra-operative outcomes, post-operative recovery and early oncologic outcomes; however, it requires advanced laparoscopic skills. Laparoscopic enucleation has become the operation of choice for small benign tumours that are away from the main pancreatic duct, especially insulinomas. We also summarize key results in pre-operative, perioperative and post-operative outcomes from contemporary series comparing open and laparoscopic pancreatic resections in the tables.
