Laparoscopic uncinate first approach is a feasible method for pancreatic head neoplasms. Achieved quality of the specimen is comparable with the traditional laparoscopic approach, whereas intra- and postoperative course is not inferior. However, further studies on larger cohorts are required to fully establish whether the novel approach has potential advantages over classical access in pancreatic head cancer.
