Case in brief
This report details three cases of robotic remnant total pancreatectomy (R-RTP) performed after robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (R-PD). The standardized surgical technique involved meticulous dissection and specimen removal, resulting in a mean operative time of 332 minutes and minimal blood loss. All patients achieved R0 resection and experienced no postoperative complications, with a hospital stay averaging 13.3 days.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
Robotic remnant total pancreatectomy after robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy is technically feasible and can lead to favorable perioperative outcomes.
Why it matters
The study highlights the potential benefits of a standardized robotic approach in complex pancreatic surgeries, contributing to improved recovery and outcomes.
