- Abstract: ObjectiveTo compare and analyze the clinical application of robot-assisted parenchymal-sparing pancreatectomy (R-PSP) and laparoscopic parenchymal-sparing pancreatectomy (L-PSP) in the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (pNEN), and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the R-PSP procedure. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of pNEN patients who underwent parenchymal-sparing pancreatectomy in Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from December 2017 to August 2023, and according to the minimally invasive surgical procedure, they were divided into R-PSP group and L-PSP group. R-PSP and L-PSP were compared in terms of the efficacy of minimally invasive procedure, the outcome of postoperative complications, and oncological efficacy. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups; the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of ranked data between two groups. ResultsA total of 45 pNEN patients were included, with 9 in the R-PSP group and 36 in the L-PSP group, and there were no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in time of operation, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion, and the rate of conversion to laparotomy (all P>0.05). Compared with the L-PSP group, the R-PSP group had a significantly longer length of postoperative hospital stay [10.00 (9.00 — 15.00) days vs 7.50 (6.00 — 10.00) days, Z=-2.356, P=0.017] and significantly higher hospital costs [86 610.44 (81 905.39 — 114 401.24) yuan vs 38 781.20 (31 708.39 — 50 514.76) yuan, Z=-4.001, P<0.001]. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence rates of serious postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥Ⅲ), clinically relevant pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, and intra-abdominal infection (all P>0.05). The postoperative 90-day mortality rate was 0% for both groups. ConclusionR-PSP has acceptable safety and efficacy in pNEN patients in clinical practice.
