Abstract:【Objective】 To evaluate the clinical effect and safety of the effect of laparoscopy pancreaticoduodenectomy versus open ancreaticoduodenectomy, and to provide an objective choice for clinical treatment. 【Methods】 The following databases as CNKI, WangFang and PubMed(from 1990 to 2013.11) were searched electronically, and traced related references. All randomized controlled trials and non-random controlled trials on comparing laparoscopy pancreaticoduodenectomy with open ancreaticoduodenectomy were collected. The Cochrane network RevMan 5.0 software was used for Meta-analysis. 【Results】 5 nonrandomized controlled clinical trials with 471 patients were included. The meta-analysis detected no statistically significant difference between the two groups in reoperation rate [RR= 0.8, 95% CI (0.28, 2.34), P =0.69], the hospitalization duration [MD=-2.16,95% CI (-4.90, 0.58), P =0.12], perioperative mortality rate [RR=0.76, 95% CI (0.27, 2.29), P =0.66], the incidence of pancreatic leak [RR=0.95, 95% CI (0.57,1.56), P =0.83], delayed gastric emptying rate [RR=1.05, 95%CI (0.56,1.97), P =0.88]. The laparoscopic resection surgery significantly reduced the amount of bleeding [MD=-446.08, 95%CI (-845.35, -46.80), P =0.03], and the postoperative wound infection [RR=0.45, 95% CI (0.22, 0.92), P =0.03], except the operative time [MD=105.73, 95%CI (16.03, 195.44), P =0.02]. 【Conclusion】 According to the research, we can see the laparoscopic resection surgery is better than the conventional surgery in the safety and efficiency, except the operative time. Therefore, this procedure can be implemented in some large-scale hospitals.
