Evolution in technique of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy: a decade long experience from a tertiary center

Background Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is a technically demanding surgery performed only at few centers in the world. This article aims to describe the evolution of the technique and summarizes the results in our institute over the years.
