Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Middle pancreatectomy is a recognized surgical approach for benign central pancreatic tumors.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly explored to reduce surgical morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel robot-assisted laparoscopic approach for middle pancreatectomy.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of this minimally invasive technique.

Main Methods:

  • Three patients underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic middle pancreatectomy using the da Vinci Surgical System.
  • Procedures involved resection of benign pancreatic tumors (serous and mucinous cystadenomas).
  • Pancreaticoenteric reconstruction was performed via pancreaticogastrostomy.

Main Results:

  • Mean operative time was 320 minutes with an average blood loss of 233 mL.
  • No mortalities occurred; one patient experienced a manageable pancreatic fistula.
  • Patients had a mean follow-up of 44 months with no observed endocrine or exocrine deficiencies.

Conclusions:

  • Robot-assisted laparoscopic middle pancreatectomy is a viable, less-invasive alternative for benign pancreatic neck and proximal body tumors.
  • This approach facilitates preservation of pancreatic parenchyma and minimizes operative trauma.
