Does robotic distal pancreatectomy surgery offer similar results as laparoscopic and open approach? A comparative study from a single medical center

In the field of pancreatic surgery, robotic surgery has yet to be evaluated against open and laparoscopic approaches. The outcomes of robotic surgery for distal pancreatectomy were analysed and the results compared with those of laparoscopic and open procedures.
