				 Introduction: The recent advances of surgical techniques and technology allow minimally invasive surgery to be applied in patients with benign and malignant diseases of the pancreas. About malignancy, we still have concerns regarding the oncologic adequacy of laparoscopic pancreatectomy, with fewer studies reporting oncologic outcomes. We describe the surgical technique to improve the curability of laparoscopic pancreatectomy in the treatment of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and focuse on the oncologic outcomes and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for PDAC patients.
