Fully robotic central pancreatectomy with pancreaticogastrostomy using a double-J pancreatic duct stent: a video vignette.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCentral pancreatectomy is a parenchyma-sparing procedure indicated for benign or low-grade malignant lesions located in the pancreatic neck or proximal body. Despite its functional advantages, postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains the most common complication because pancreatic reconstruction is required. Although internal pancreatic duct stents are commonly used, conventional straight stents may be limited by terminal obstruction or restricted drainage outlets. A tailored double-J ureteral stent segment may provide an alternative internal drainage configuration during pancreaticogastrostomy.
methodsWe present a video vignette of a patient who underwent fully robotic central pancreatectomy with pancreaticogastrostomy using a tailored internal double-J pancreatic duct stent. A literature review was performed to summarize previously reported minimally invasive central pancreatectomy series and reconstruction strategies involving internal pancreatic duct drainage.
resultsThe procedure was completed robotically without intraoperative complications. The operative time was 357 min with an estimated blood loss of 200 mL. The patient resumed oral intake on postoperative day (POD) 2 and a soft diet on POD 3. Drain amylase levels on POD 5 did not meet criteria for POPF, and the drain was removed on POD 6. The patient was discharged on POD 7 without postoperative complications. At 3-month follow-up, CT demonstrated no evidence of recurrence or procedure-related complications, and the internal stent was no longer visible.
conclusionFully robotic central pancreatectomy with pancreaticogastrostomy using a tailored double-J ureteral stent segment was technically feasible. This video vignette highlights the key operative steps of this reconstruction technique and may serve as a useful technical reference for robotic pancreaticogastrostomy after central pancreatectomy. Further studies are required to evaluate its clinical utility and impact on postoperative outcomes.
