The Effect of Body Mass Index on Patients’ Outcomes Following Robotic Distal Pancreatectomy and Splenectomy

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

BMI has no significant effect on patients undergoing robotic distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. BMI greater than 30 kg/m² should not defer proceeding with robotic distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy. Limited empirical evidence exists in the literature regarding patients with a BMI greater than 30 kg/m², and thus any proposed operative intervention should invoke sufficient planning and preparation.
