Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Conventional laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy faces challenges due to 2D visualization and limited dexterity.
  • Growing interest in minimally invasive techniques drives exploration of robotic solutions for pancreatic surgery.
  • Robotic systems may offer enhanced capabilities for complex retroperitoneal procedures like distal pancreatectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a comprehensive literature review on robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy.
  • To evaluate the advantages and potential limitations of the robotic approach in distal pancreatectomy.
  • To assess the current outcomes of robotic distal pancreatectomy for various pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing literature on robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy.
  • Analysis of reported outcomes, including complication rates and oncologic results.
  • Comparison of robotic approach with conventional laparoscopic and open techniques.

Main Results:

  • Robotic distal pancreatectomy has demonstrated encouraging outcomes, particularly for benign and borderline malignant diseases.
  • Enhanced 3D visualization and endowristed instruments in robotic systems may improve surgical precision.
  • Studies report feasibility and safety of robotic distal pancreatectomy with and without spleen preservation.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic-assisted surgery presents a viable and potentially superior alternative to conventional laparoscopy for distal pancreatectomy.
  • Further research and larger studies are needed to fully establish the long-term benefits and optimal applications of robotic distal pancreatectomy.
  • The robotic platform holds significant promise for advancing minimally invasive treatments in pancreatic surgery.
