Article Abstract
Purpose: With the increasing use of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy, the use of robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP) is also increasing worldwide. Standardized surgical protocols are essential for safe implementation of RDP. In this study, we present our surgical protocol and initial outcomes of RDP using “two-surgeon technique”.
Methods: Our standard RDP protocol included a two-surgeon technique for cooperation, rationality, and education. Short-term outcomes of RDP were also investigated. This retrospective study included 77 consecutive patients who underwent RDP at our institution between April 2021 and January 2025.
Results: The median operative time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative hospital stay were 214 min (interquartile range [IQR], 176–253), 10 mL (IQR, 0–50), and 9 days (IQR, 8–10), respectively. A textbook outcome was achieved in 84.4% of patients. Moreover, superior outcomes of RDP ( = 77) compared with those of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy ( = 62) were confirmed in this study.
Conclusion: Using the two-surgeon technique, we successfully standardized and introduced the RDP program. The two-surgeon technique can contribute to the safe introduction of RDP and expansion of the program.

Introduction: Very early recurrence in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has been defined as recurrence ≤3 months after resection. Besides others, neoadjuvant treatment is delivered based on the assumption of preoperative eradication of micrometastasis as well as local downstaging. Prognostic factors of very early recurrence after neoadjuvant treatment remain largely unexplored.

Surgical resection remains the only potentially curative treatment. Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP), including laparoscopic and robotic approaches, has gained popularity, although the evidence of its efficacy is limited.

Background/ Aim: Total pancreatectomy (TP) is an uncommon type of pancreatic resection, even at high-volume centers. The indications of a TP are not fully defined, and the outcomes are controversial. The study aims to assess the frequency of use, indications, and early outcomes of TP in a contemporary consecutive series of 36 patients.

Background: Radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) enables posterior dissection along Gerota's fascia, contributing to improved R0 resection rates, lymphadenectomy, and overall survival (OS) in pancreatic body and tail cancers. Although a posterior margin ≥ 1000 μm has been associated with better prognosis, its relative impact compared with Gerota's fascia resection remains unclear. This study evaluated whether securing a posterior margin ≥ 1000 μm improves outcomes in patients undergoing Gerota's fascia resection for pancreatic body and tail cancer.
