Summary

This international study compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques for removing benign or pre-cancerous tumors from the left side of the pancreas. 256 patients will be randomly assigned to either laparoscopic (surgeon uses hand-held tools) or robot-assisted surgery. Researchers will track recovery, complications, and hospital costs for 90 days after surgery to determine which approach leads to better outcomes.
