Robot-assisted surgery is advancing minimally invasive techniques in complex pancreatic surgery. Establishing a robotic pancreas program requires careful preparation, including specialized robotic training, especially in high-volume centers.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Robotics
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) enhances minimally invasive surgery (MIS) but lags in pancreatic procedures compared to other specialties.
  • Pancreatic surgery's complexity and high morbidity/mortality rates have historically limited MIS adoption.
  • Recent advancements show increasing adoption of laparoscopic and robotic approaches in pancreatic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the essential preparations and conditions for initiating a robotic pancreas program.
  • To highlight the critical role of robotic training in successful program implementation.
  • To provide insights based on nationwide experience in the Netherlands.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on robotic pancreatic surgery.
Keywords:
