We present the case of a 35 year old female that was referred for management of recurrent pancreatitis. On pre-operative evaluation she was found to have pancreas divisum with a long narrowed segment of the main pancreatic duct. On further review of MRCP images, a cystic lesion was found in the proximal duct. Our therapeutic goals consisted of resection of the cystic lesion and drainage of the proximal duct. She was taken to the operating room and a robotic assisted Duval procedure was successfully completed. We believe that this approach is safe and offers the benefits of minimally invasive surgery for this complex pathology.
