Laparoscopic and open surgical treatment of left-sided pancreatic lesions: clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness analysis

Abstract: Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for left-sided lesions can be performed safely and effectively in selected patients, with reduced hospital stay and operative blood loss. Major complications, including pancreatic leak, were not reduced, whereas total cost was comparable between LDP and ODP. A selective use of LDP seems to be an effective and cost-efficient alternative to ODP.

“…A LDP that is not converted to open is associated with significantly less intra-operative blood loss compared to ODP in many series [2,[4][5][6][10][11][12]14,16,21,23] . The usual rate of conversion to ODP is about 10%-20% (Table 1), but can be over 25% in series with less selected patients [11,32] .…”

“…Although there is a lack of randomized trials comparing LDP and ODP, there have been many retrospective series in the past decade studying the post-operative outcomes of LDP ( Table 2). The main advantages of LDP include shorter hospital stay (difference of 2 d or more) [2][3][4][5][6]9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][19][20][21]23,24] , decreased requirement for pain medications, and swifter return to regular diet (difference of 1.7 d) [19] . The overall morbidity is approximately 26%-40% [2,10,11,13] , which is similar to ODP from contemporary series (29%-57%).…”

“…Of them, 2 were excluded because they had potentially redundant data, reporting data from the same institution and authors, and two articles were excluded because they contained not-extractable data. Finally, 5 studies [13][14][15][16][17] were included in the metaanalysis (Fig.). On review of the data extraction, there was 100% agreement between the two reviewers.…”
