Abstract

: A 28-year-old female patient was incidentally diagnosed with a unilocular pancreatic cystic lesion located in the body-tail of the pancreas. Findings at contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance were both consistent with the diagnosis of mucinous cystadenoma. The patient was then scheduled for a robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy with preservation of the spleen and the splenic vessels. The procedure was completed safely in 255 minutes with minimal blood loss. The post-operative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on post-operative day 6. Final pathology confirmed the diagnosis of mucinous cystadenoma. In the video presented herein we show the technique for robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy with preservation of the spleen and the splenic vessels.
