Similar Outcomes of Robotic and Laparoscopic Pancreatoduodenectomy for Pancreatic Cancer

Robotic and laparoscopic approaches to minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy yield similar oncologic and surgical outcomes in pancreatic cancer patients, with a lower conversion rate to open surgery for the robotic cohort. The learning curve has a significant impact on outcomes, with higher-volume centers showing improved results, particularly in reducing 90-day mortality.
