The white paper entitled, “International consensus statement on robotic pancreatic surgery”, has been devised by leading minimally invasive surgeons to evaluate the current state for robotic pancreatic surgery. Six experts started the process by developing guidelines of robotic pancreatic surgery. Six experts started the process by developing guidelines of robotic pancreatic surgery. The guidelines were refined over a total of 4 meetings with the input and assistance of 20 additional international experts. A total of 19 recommendations involving the burgeoning field of robotic pancreatic surgery have been published in this article.
