Surgery, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH

This video is a case presentation of a 70-year-old patient who presented with a symptomatic 1.2 cm insulinoma on the posterior aspect of the pancreas in between the pancreatic duct and splenic hilum. A successful robotic enucleation of the pancreatic insulinoma was performed and distal pancreatectomy avoided. This was aided by intraoperative ultrasound guidance as well as utilization of indocyanine green (ICG) angiography during the operation, which enhanced well at the site of the insulinoma. This video illustrates the benefits of a robotic approach to this challenging pancreatic tumor enucleation.
