Robotic Assisted Distal Pancreatectomy: Learning Curve

1. Abstract
1.1. Introduction
Use of minimally invasive surgery for distal pancreatectomy has been demonstrated with improvement in the length of hospitalisation, blood loss and splenic preservation rate. Current literature concerning operating time with robotic assistance is divergent. The aim of our study is to analyse the learning curve and the evolution of operating time in robotic assisted distal pancreatectomies.
