Abstract
Laparoscopic access to the retroperitoneum is safe and feasible. Pancr eatic resection requires complete familiarity with two-handed techniqu e and knowledge of pancreatic anatomy. At present, only benign disease s should be approached laparoscopically, unless institutional review b oard approval exists for malignant disease.
