Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness and feasibility of robotic total pancreatectomy (RTP) compared to open total pancreatectomy (OTP) for pancreatic cancer, highlighting a shift towards more robotic surgeries over time.
- Analyzed data from 188 RTP and 3,447 OTP patients from 2010 to 2019 found no significant differences in outcomes such as mortality rates and oncological effectiveness, but RTP patients experienced a shorter hospital stay.
- Overall survival rates were similar for both methods, suggesting that RTP is a viable option for pancreatic cancer surgery without compromising patient outcomes.
Total pancreatectomy is a complex procedure used in the management of pancreatic cancer. While minimally invasive techniques have been increasingly adopted, limited data exist comparing robotic total pancreatectomy (RTP) and laparoscopic total pancreatectomy (LTP). This study evaluates the utilization, short- and long-term outcomes of RTP and LTP using the National Cancer Database.
