title: Long-sleeve-working-port assisted laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy-A new technique in laparoscopic surgery.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Advances in technology and instruments have made laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) feasible. Unfortunately, this operation is technically very challenging and it is not widely accepted by laparoscopic surgeons.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 59-year-old woman underwent LPD using a newly invented long-sleeve-working-port (LSWP) for a mucinous cystadenoma of the head of pancreas. This case report describes this port and its use on this patient.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  LSWP is a new invention to facilitate difficult laparoscopic operations. Through this LSWP, ordinary instruments used in open surgery can be used to overcome the limitation encountered in conventional laparoscopic surgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  LSWP made complex laparoscopic surgery less complex.
