Robot-Assisted Simultaneous Distal Pancreatectomy and Sigmoidectomy for Synchronous Pancreatic and Colon Tumors: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

With advancements in cancer diagnostics and treatment, the detection of multiple primary tumors has become more common, prompting the need for effective and minimally invasive surgical strategies. Simultaneous multi-organ resections can reduce surgical stress and promote early postoperative recovery, which is particularly beneficial when timely initiation of adjuvant therapy is essential. Robot-assisted surgery offers enhanced precision and dexterity, making it a valuable option for complex multivisceral resections. In this case, we performed simultaneous robot-assisted pancreatic resection and colectomy in a patient who also required curative chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer, allowing for the prompt initiation of postoperative treatment.
