However, it’s extremely challenging for pancreatic surgeons because of its difficulty and high incidence of surgical complications. Looking back over the past 20 years, in, the development of LPD in China has experienced a transformation from scratch, from simple to complex, from immature to mature, and now it has entered the stage of rapid development. The author is honored to witness this process. However, as a sophisticated operation in general surgery, there are still disputes to be solved. By reviewing the 20-year development history of LPD surgery in China, the author elaborates the existing problems in order to enhance the understanding of LPD by the majority of pancreatic surgeons in China and promote the further development of LPD in China.
