Background: Spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy by robotic surgery is a safe and feasible surgical technique. Currently, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy represents an alternative to the classical distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, in the case of benign and low-grade malignant diseases of the body or pancreas tail. The reasons for preserving the spleen are based on the reduction of postoperative complications, such as post-splenectomy infections, subphrenic abscess, portal thrombosis, pulmonary hypertension, thrombocytosis, and thromboembolism.

Robot-assisted pancreatic surgery (RPS) is increasingly adopted across institutions. While structured training and longitudinal skill acquisition are essential for optimal outcomes, the learning progression of surgical assistants in RPS remains inadequately characterized. This study presents our institution's standard operating procedures (SOP) for robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy (RDP) developed through a single-team cohort experience and defines the assistant learning curve based on operative time, thereby establishing evidence-based benchmarks for RPS training programs.

Spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy is an increasingly preferred approach for patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs), offering potential long-term benefits, such as preserved immunologic function and reduced thromboembolic or oncologic risks. While traditional distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy facilitates lymph node clearance, it carries significant short- and long-term complications. In our recently published video, we demonstrate a robotic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy using the Kimura technique in two patients with MEN1 and multifocal pNETs.

Background: Minimally invasive spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (MI-SPDP) provides superior outcomes compared with open surgery, with robotic techniques showing better short-term results than laparoscopic techniques, particularly in obese patients. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the surgical approach on postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) incidence in obese patients undergoing MI-SPDP.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of obese patients from 16 international centres compared robotic (R-SPDP) and laparoscopic (L-SPDP) approaches.
