Discussion

Retrospective cohort study assesses safety and outcomes in robotic pancreatic surgery, suggesting potential benefits over open methods.

Robotic pancreatic resections are feasible and safe, with comparable morbidity to open surgery.
Operative time improved significantly for robotic duodenopancreatectomy, decreasing from 480 to 390 minutes.
Postoperative complications included pancreatic fistula in 20% of cases, highlighting surgical risks.
Structured training and case volume support improved efficiency during the initial learning curve.

Coco et al. (2025) studied this question.
