[Challenges and opportunities of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery]

With the advancement of contemporary science and technology,minimally invasive surgery has assumed an increasingly indispensable role in the management of pancreatic diseases. In comparison to traditional open methods,minimally invasive pancreatic surgery is frequently associated with shorter hospital stays,reduced intraoperative blood loss,and decreased rates of general and pancreas-specific complications,albeit with longer operation times. However,additional research is required to elucidate the differences between minimally invasive and open surgical methods concerning overall survival and disease-free survival. The implementation of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery demands sophisticated equipment and necessitates extensive training for surgeons to surmount the procedural learning curve. To fully exploit the benefits of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of pancreatic diseases,it is imperative to integrate cutting-edge scientific technologies,innovate perioperative management pathways,develop multidisciplinary collaborative models,and establish a standardized training system.
