Here, we present a step-by-step protocol of robotic spleen preserving distal pancreatectomy, with and without preserving the splenic vessels (i.e., the Kimura and Warshaw techniques, respectively).
Overview
This article presents a detailed protocol for performing robotic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy. It covers techniques that involve preserving the splenic vessels, specifically the Kimura and Warshaw methods.
