Improving Patient Centered Outcomes in Pancreatic Surgery • Develop “personalized” surgical treatment • Modeling of outcomes • Theranostics • Re-thinking clinical trial design • Explore minimally invasive approach to pancreatic surgery program
Patient Centered Outcomes in Pancreatic Surgery • Reduced perioperative morbidity • Maintain quality of life • Decreased peri-operative blood loss and transfusion • Increased rate of adjuvant therapy
Why develop a minimally invasive approach to Pancreas? • Pancreatic Cancer remains dormant for 10-12 years before clinically detectable? • Early detection may allow less invasive surgery to be curative?
Why develop a minimally invasive approach to Pancreas? • “prophylactic” pancreatectomy • IPMN=polyp of the pancreas
Laparoscopic PD • Adequate for ablative surgery • For procedures requiring extensive reconstruction the technique is modified to meet the technological limitations • Poor ergonomics for the surgeon • Limited range of motion of instruments • Two dimensional ! • Wouldn’t do open surgery with one eye
Robotic Pancreas Resections • Advantages of Robotic Surgery • Magnification 20x-30x • Near 360 degrees range of motion in instruments • Elimination of tremor / improved dexterity • Stereotactic binocular vision—its 3D like Avatar!
Goals of Robotic Pancreas Program at UPMC • Major objectives • Reproduce open technique and outcomes • Widely applicable • Quality Assurance • Rule out Disadvantages • Equivalent safety? • Learning curve and time investment • Explore Potential Advantages • Decrease peri-operative morbidity/blood transfusions • Earlier adjuvant chemotherapy

ROBOT-ASSISTED MINIMALLY-INVASIVE DISTAL PANCREATECTOMY IS SUPERIOR TO THE LAPAROSCOPIC TECHNIQUE
Methods • Retrospective analysis of all minimally-invasive distal pancreatectomies at UPMC between January 2004 and February 2011. • Compared the peri-operative outcomes of our first 30 RADPto 94 consecutive historical control LDP.
Comparison of Robotic (RADP) and Laparoscopic (LDP) Approach to Distal Pancreatectomy • Robotic assisted minimally invasive distal pancreatic resection appears comparable to laparoscopic approach in safety and feasibility • RADP was associated with decreased frequency of conversion to open , increased number of total Lymph node harvested, higher rate of R0 resections and decreased significant blood loss • These data suggest that use of the Robotic Platform may allow more patients to successfully undergo minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy • Larger multicenter studies are needed to validate these findings

Conclusions: • Robotic assisted Pancreatic resections are currently feasible and safe • Evolution of the technique will likely continue making comparative studies difficult • Multicenter collaborations necessary to study comparative effectiveness
Minimally Invasive Pancreatic Surgery Consortium (MIPSC) • Contributing Members • University of Pittsburgh • Mayo Clinic • Cleveland Clinic • Pisa Italy • Second Annual meeting November 2011 • Goals • Multicenter prospective database • Standardization of procedures • Comparative effectiveness studies
