Abstract:
Standard pancreatic resection procedures, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, and total pancreatectomy are widely used to treat pancrea-tic lesions. However, these procedures involve extensive removal of pancreatic tissue and adjacent organs, often leading to a significant decline in patients′ long-term quality of life. Therefore, for some benign pancreatic lesions and low-grade malignant tumors, organ-sparing pancreatectomy is now recommended. This approach includes enucleation, central pancreatectomy, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, or duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection. These operations aim to com-pletely remove the pancreatic lesion while preserving as much healthy pancreatic tissue and surro-unding organs as possible. Maintaining the digestive tract′s anatomical and physiological integrity reduces the risk of postoperative endocrine and exocrine insufficiency, ultimately improving long-term outcomes. Along with the rise of minimally invasive techniques, robotic organ-sparing pancrea-tectomy is increasingly adopted in clinical practice, offering distinct advantages. The authors high-light the main surgical techniques in robotic organ-sparing pancreatectomy and examine their clini-cal applications, aiming to enhance surgeons′ correct understanding of the concept of robotic organ-sparing pancreatectomy and assist in the rational selection of robotic organ-sparing pancreatectomy surgical methods during the treatment process.
