{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is a complicated surgical procedure that has recently been performed safely. A superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-first approach can allow complete mesopancreas resection, maximizing surgical margins and R0 resection rates. Therefore, the SMA-first approach is recommended. This review is a literature summary of recent updates of the SMA approaches for LPD and informs clinical practice of the advantages of its various approach.
UNASSIGNED: A systematic literature search was performed on the PubMed (MEDLINE) database using truncated word searches and medical subject headings to identify all pertinent published studies.
UNASSIGNED: After searching PubMed, 303 studies were identified and reviewed, of which 25 described the SMA-first approach, including the anterior, posterior, right, and left approaches, fully described in 5, 6, 13, and 6 articles, respectively.
UNASSIGNED: The SMA-first approach is the standard surgical technique for LPD. This review summarized each SMA-first approach's distinct advantages and indications.
