Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is a minimally invasive approach for Whipple by total or assistant laparoscopic techniques. The results of feasibility, safety, short and long outcomes have slowly been gaining acceptance over the past decade. Aim to further adapt to the development trend, improve the safety and oncologic outcomes, promote the standardized development of LPD in China, four pancreas surgery groups in China wrote this LPD consensus. The consensus includes seven sections: operator request, indications and contraindications, preoperative preparation and anesthesia, equipment and instruments, positioning of patient and trocars, abdominal pressure, indications of conversion to laparotomy, postoperative observation and treatment. Furthermore, recommended operation process and main steps were attached. The consensus will help surgeons, who have performed or ready to carry out, to make reasonable decisions in their clinical practice.
