Since the development of the robotic platform, the number of robotic-assisted surgeries has significantly increased. Robotic surgery has gained growing acceptance in recent years, expanding to pancreatic resection. Here, we report a total robotic resection of the uncinate process of the pancreas performed in a patient with a cystic neuroendocrine tumor.

Patient: A 64-year-old man underwent open left colectomy complicated by anastomotic leak.
Background: The isolate resection of the uncinate process of the pancreas is a rarely described procedure but is an adequate surgery to treat benign and low grade malignancies of the uncinate process of the pancreas.
Aim: To detail laparoscopic uncinatectomy technique and present the initial results.
Method: Patient is placed in supine position with the surgeon between legs.
