Summary

Minimally invasive pancreatic surgery is gaining acceptance, especially for distal resections, offering clear benefits over open procedures. Proximal, central, and enucleation techniques show promise with growing expertise.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Pancreatic resection is a high-morbidity procedure due to its complexity and proximity to vital structures.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are relatively new to pancreatic surgery.
  • This review focuses on experienced centers to analyze current concepts in minimally invasive pancreatic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current concepts in minimally invasive pancreatic surgery.
  • To compare minimally invasive and open pancreatic resection techniques.
  • To highlight the experiences of leading centers in this field.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of published series and reviews from high-experience centers.
  • Focus on similarities and differences between minimally invasive and open procedures.

  • Evaluation of minimally invasive distal, proximal, central pancreatectomy, and enucleation.

    • Main Results:

    • Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy shows clear benefits and is nearing widespread acceptance.
    • Minimally invasive proximal pancreatectomy is feasible in select centers with promising results.
    • Minimally invasive central pancreatectomy and enucleation appear feasible with increasing experience.

    Conclusions:

    • Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy is advantageous over open approaches.
    • Further development and adoption of minimally invasive techniques for proximal, central, and enucleation procedures are expected.
    • Expertise is key to successful outcomes in minimally invasive pancreatic surgery.
