Abstract EN
During the last decades an increasing number of minimally invasive pancreatic resections have been reported in the literature.
With the development of robotic surgery a new enthusiasm has not only increased the number of centers approaching minimally invasive pancreatic surgery in general but also enabled the use of this technique for major pancreatic procedures, in particular in minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy.
The aim of this review was to define the state of the art of pancreatic robotic surgery.
No prospective randomized trials have been performed comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open pancreatic procedures.
From the literature one may conclude that robotic pancreatectomies seem to be as feasible and safe as open procedures.
The general idea that the overall perioperative costs of robotic surgery would be higher than traditional procedures is not supported.
With the current lack of evidence of any oncologic advantages, the cosmetic benefits offered by robotic surgery are not enough to justify extensive use in cancer patients.
In contrast, the safety of these procedure can justify the use of the robotic technique in patient with benign/low grade malignant tumors of the pancreas.
