Acute pancreatitis is a condition characterized by the sudden inflammation of the pancreas, a vital organ located behind the stomach. It occurs when digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas become activated within the gland instead of the small intestine, leading to tissue damage and severe pain.
Laparoscopy and robot-assisted surgery are two minimally invasive techniques that can be used to perform pancreatectomy, which is the surgical removal of all or part of the pancreas. These techniques offer several advantages over traditional open surgery, including less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and reduced postoperative pain.
