Core Tip
Core tip: Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy via reverse -“V” approach can be performed with safety and obtain good results in elective patients. The preliminary experience showed a good prospect via reverse-“V” approach for LDP. Localized malignant lesions and irrespective of histopathology may be particularly amenable to this approach.
