Do any of those centers do laparoscopic Whipples?

This would be a major criteria for me - it means you are dealing with a center of excellence with the best facilities and staff.

I did ask about that, Boston said they do an open incision one. I will double check with my Pittsburgh doc.
I feel like Mass General is pretty state of the art. Why do you think laparoscopic means a better facility, just curious.
