¹Denotes pancreatic fistula rates for grades B and C. Summary of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) series comparing the post-operative outcomes in LDP and open distal pancreatectomy (ODP). The results are shown as “LDP/ODP”;

^aP < 0.05. NS: Statistically non-significant between the two groups; N/A: Data not available. In the pancreatic fistula column, the default is recording percentage of patients with pancreatic fistula of all grades and severity.
