Abstract

During the past 20 years, the application of a minimally invasive approach to pancreatic surgery has progressively increased and has been established as feasible and safe. Comparative studies have demonstrated several advantages of minimally invasive approaches over the open approach for pancreatic resection, namely, less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and early recovery. Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is the most frequently used procedure in pancreatic surgery. However, the utilization of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is limited to a few highly experienced surgeons, due to the very challenging resection and complex anastomoses. The introduction of a robotic platform more than 10 years ago increased the interest of many surgeons in minimally invasive treatment of pancreatic diseases. This new technology overcomes some limitations of laparoscopic surgery, but actual benefits for the patients are still under investigation.
