    AbstractRobotic pancreatic resections have been established as safe alternatives to the open and laparoscopic approaches. The platform has proven to be versatile, and discriminable, allowing an increasing number of surgeons to perform complex pancreatic resections in minimally invasive fashion. To date, the realized advantages of the robotic technique are decreased blood loss, and fewer conversions to laparotomy. Although these are 2 very important metrics, larger experiences comparing robotics to open and/or laparoscopic surgery are ultimately needed if the true potential of robotic pancreatic resections are to be realized.
