This article is dedicated to the description of a clinical case of laparoscopic gastropancreatoduodenal resection for pancreatic head cancer. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive malignant neoplasms with an unfavorable prognosis. The article discusses the importance of early diagnosis of the disease, which is often detected at advanced stages, making it difficult to apply surgical treatment. The main method of treatment is surgical resection, but only a small portion of patients are candidates for surgery. The article also highlights the significance of minimally invasive methods, such as laparoscopy, in improving surgical outcomes, as this reduces the number of postoperative complications and accelerates patient recovery. In the presented clinical practice, laparoscopic gastropancreatoduodenal resection was performed on a 57-year-old patient with pancreatic head cancer, which became the first such intervention in the Kyrgyz Republic. The surgery was successful, and the patient was prescribed adjuvant chemotherapy. As a result of follow-up in 8 months, repeated examinations showed no signs of tumor progression. The article emphasizes the promising use of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of pancreatic cancer and the need for further research in this field.
