Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a major public health concern, ranking as the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States. Traditional surgical approaches often yield suboptimal outcomes, highlighting the need for innovative surgical strategies. Radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) has demonstrated improvements in surgical visualization and oncological outcomes. Recently, laparoscopic RAMPS (L-RAMPS) has been introduced as a minimally invasive alternative.
