We present a case of a 55-year-old female patient with pancreatic head cancer who was treated with total laparoscopic pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (TLPD) on 13.12.2013. The procedure as well as the postoperative course was uncomplicated. The patient was mobilized on the day of surgery; a liquid diet was introduced on day 1 and a full hospital diet on day 2 postoperatively. Drains were removed on the 3rd day after the procedure. Length of hospital stay was 6 days. The final pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of cancer. According to our knowledge this is the first report on total laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy in Poland performed by an entirely Polish team of surgeons. In our opinion, TLPD is feasible and similarly to other laparoscopic operations may improve postoperative recovery.
