Laparoscopic distal or subtotal pancreatectomy can be performed safely and effectively unless there is a clear reason why not to do so. With the aim of reducing postoperative trauma and improving the cosmesis, single-access laparoscopic surgery has been introduced into daily practice. We report the first case of distal single-access laparoscopic pancreasectomy for an adenocarcinoma. The procedure was carried out in 170 minutes without postoperative complications. Despite some technical difficulties, we think that a single-access laparoscopic approach could be adequate for a pancreatic resection. However, an adequate analysis of cost-effectiveness as well as regarding the reproducibility should be carried out.
