Laparoscopic surgery has not changed much in safety compared with open surgery through many existing studies, and has become a procedure to help patients' recovery. Recently, laparoscopic surgery has been actively performed for pancreaticoduodenectomy, one of the most complicated procedures in intraperitoneal surgery. the investigators will perform a prospective study to establish a higher level of evidence for the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. The purpose of this study was to compare the short-term clinical outcomes including the functional recovery after surgery, complications and confirm that laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is safe and appropriate. This study includes an interim analysis and can be terminated early by analysis at the completion of 50% of planned patients.
