Defining the Histopathological Spectrum of Robotic Distal Pancreatectomy: Insights from Single-Center Cohort

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma remains a cancer with a poor prognosis when detected at an advanced stage. This study presents patients who underwent minimally invasive surgery of the distal part of the pancreas with potentially resectable lesions. In the group of 141 patients, the postoperative pathomorphological examination revealed neuroendocrine tumours, locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, solid pseudopapillary tumours (SPN), metastases of melanoma and clear cell carcinoma of the kidney, low-risk and high-risk Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN), Mucinous Cystic Neoplasm (MCN), Pancreatic Intraductal Neoplasm (PanIN), Serous Cystic Neoplasms (SCN) and chronic pancreatitis cases. Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) has become the preferred approach for most resectable lesions in the pancreatic body and tail.
