Minimally invasive surgery for malignant diseases in pancreas
2020
Unlike most other abdominal procedures, pancreatic resection for malignant tumours is still predominantly performed as open surgery. However, recent published randomised trials suggest that a laparoscopic approach is safe and may offer advantages in the early postoperative period. Likewise, early reports of robot-assisted pancreatic resection suggest advantages. This reveiw describes the current status of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery for malignant tumours, including both laparoscopic and robot-assisted approaches for pancreaticoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy.
