Initial Experience with Robot-Assisted Distal Pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

#1214

Introduction: Robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy (RADP) for pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNEN) has not been investigated so far

Aim(s): To compare short-term outcomes of RADP with open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) for pNEN

Materials and methods: This was a retrospective case-control study of 10 patients undergoing RADP using the da Vinci®Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale; CA, USA) for PNEN at two institutions (Ospedali Riuniti Ancona and Ospedale S.Maria Terni) between January 2012 and June 2014. Patients who underwent RADP were compared with a case-matched group of 20 patients who underwent ODP.
