Objective This meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate the feasibility and the safety of total laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (TLPD) by comparing it with open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD).Methods We searched the relative domestic and international data bases systematically, such as the Cochrane Library, Medline Database, SCI, CBM, VIP-data, CNKI-data, and WanFang Data. We selected case control studies or cohort studies, and used the Review Manager 5.3 to perform statistical analysis.Results In total, thirteen single-center retrospective case-control studies were included, totally 808 patients involved, and there were 401 cases in the TLPD group and 407 cases in the OPD group. There were no significant difference in terms of the cumulative morbidity, incidence of the Clavien Ⅲ-Ⅴ complication, pancreatic fistula, B/C pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, postoperative hemorrhage, pulmonary infection, and gastric emptying delay, as well as the ratio of secondary operation, mortality of perioperative period, the ration of R0 resection, and the number of lymph nodes dissected between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Although the operative time was significant longer, TLPD had significant superiority in terms of the amount of bleeding and blood transfusion during operation, the hospital stays after operation, the bowel function recovery time, the time to restart eating, and the time to reactivate (P<0.05).Conclusion In terms of the relative complications and the parameters of oncology such as the ration of R0 resection, the number of lymph nodes dissected, both of the procedures are safe and feasible, while TLPD is more favorable to control operative bleeding and accelerate rehabilitation.
