Abstract
Minimally invasive approaches to distal (left) pancreatectomy have been shown to produce equivalent short-term and long-term outcomes for the treatment of benign and malignant pancreatic diseases, including equivalent or better operative outcomes such as reduced blood loss, decreased pain medication requirements, and shorter hospital stay in retrospective studies from expert surgeons in high-volume centers [1–4]. Oncologically, lymph node retrieval, histologically negative margins, and recurrence have also been shown to be equivalent to open procedures in well-selected patients [3].
