Core Tip	Laparoscopic hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery has progressed over the last years but has been slow to gain widespread acceptance even in some referral centers worldwide. Cost implications of a mini-invasive approach to hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery are still unknown. A systematic review of the literature was performed. The total cost was lower in patients managed by laparoscopic liver resection. The total cost was lower in the laparoscopic pancreatic resection than in open pancreatic resection. This systematic review support the economic advantage of laparoscopic over open approach to liver and pancreatic resection.
