About this trial
Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy remains one of the most challenging abdominal procedures. Safety and feasibility remain controversial when comparing minimally-invasive with open pancreaticoduodenectomy, especially for malignant tumors.The aim of this study was to compare minimally invasive and open pancreatoduodenectomy for short-term outcomes and long-term follow-up in a randomized trial.

Disqualifiers
Benign tumors of the head of pancreas
Enhanced CT diagnosis revealed that the excess of SMV was more than 180 degrees, or distant metastasis.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Overall complications
The proportion of all complications after operation accounted for the total number of patients
Pancreatic fistula
The international study group (ISGPF) definition: A drain output of any measurable volume of fluid on or after postoperative day 3 with an amylase content greater than 3 times the serum amylase activity. Three different grades of postoperative fistula (grades A, B, C) are defined according to the clinical impact on the patient's hospital course.
Intra-abdominal bleeding
The International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) definition: Blood loss through abdominal drains or nasogastric tube;hematemesis or melena; clinical deterioration of the patient; unexplained hypotension or tachycardia; or laboratory findings such as a decreasing hemoglobin concentration.
Intra-abdominal infection
Positive cultures of collection of fluid or blood,or persistent fever necessitating treatment with antibiotics and positive detection in image test.
Secondary outcomes
Length of hospital stay (day)
Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks
Other outcomes
progression-free survival
The period between the beginning of treatment and the observation of disease progression or the occurrence of death for any reason.
