[Robotic Central Pancreatectomy]

Central pancreatectomy is an excellent alternative to left pancreatectomy for symptomatic benign or premalignant lesions of the pancreatic body or tail. A key advantage of this technique lies in the preservation of pancreatic parenchyma, resulting in a lower rate of postoperative diabetes mellitus. However, this procedure requires more complex reconstruction, which in turn is associated with an increased risk of morbidity.Insulinoma in the pancreatic body.Robot-assisted central pancreatectomy with pancreaticojejunostomy using a modified Blumgart technique.Central pancreatectomy is a generally rare and challenging pancreatic procedure, but clearly plays a significant role in modern pancreatic surgery due to its functional advantages. When appropriate and technically feasible, central pancreatectomy should be preferred to the alternative of left pancreatectomy and whenever possible, performed minimally invasively.
