Same surgery, different approach, robotic Whipple uses tiny cuts for a smoother recovery.
In Whipple surgery, the procedure remains the same whether it is open or robotic.
The main difference is the size of the cut.
Open Whipple surgery requires a large 20โ25 cm incision, while robotic Whipple surgery is done through multiple small cuts.
Smaller incisions mean less blood loss, lower infection risk, and faster recovery.
Most patients also need less pain medication and usually avoid blood transfusions with robotic surgery.
Choosing the right approach depends on proper evaluation by an experienced specialist.
