Purpose: Despite recent advances in laparoscopic pancreatic surgery, few studies have compared laparoscopic central pancreatectomy (LCP) with open central pancreatectomy (OCP). The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes between LCP and OCP as a single institutional study. Methods: During the study period (From January, 1998 to December, 2010), we performed central pancreatectomy in 95 cases. Among them, 26 cases of totally LCP and 55 cases of OCP were compared retrospectively. Results: Benign pancreatic neoplasm was the main indication. The mean operation time for the LCP group (350.2 min) was longer than that for the OCP group (283.4 min). And there was no significant difference in mean actual blood loss (477ml versus 714 ml, p=0.083) between the LCP and OCP groups. Return to a normal bowel movement and resumption of aliquid diet were achieved 5.5±2.6 days after the operation in the LCP group and 6.6±2.0 days after the operation in the OCP group (p=0.039). The mean duration of postoperative hospital stay was 13.8 days for the LCP group, which was significantly shorter than the 22.5 days for the OCP group (p=0.015). The overall complication rate was 42.3% (11 cases) in the LCP group and 45.5% (25 cases) in the OCP group (p=0.790). Conclusion: Use of LCP for benign or low grade malignant lesions of the pancreatic neck portion is feasible and safe. Compared to the open method, the laparoscopic approach to central pancreatectomy appears to provide advantages of early resumption of a normal diet and reduction of postoperative hospital stay without further complications.
