Abstract

Introduction: Minimally invasive surgical approaches have only recently been applied to pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Discussion: Significant apprehension exists that minimally invasive pancreatic surgery will not lead to equivalent or superior oncologic outcomes compared to traditional surgical approaches. This is the first case report of a port-site recurrence following laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.
