Key Points Question Is minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (MIPS) associated with better long-term survival compared with open pancreatic surgery (OPS) among patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma? Findings In this study of 396 patients, the median overall and disease-free survival after MIPS was 30.7 months and 14.8 months, respectively, vs 20.3 months and 10.7 months, respectively, after OPS. Meaning These findings suggest that MIPS for pancreatic adenocarcinoma, compared with OPS, may offer better overall and disease-free survival.
