The Use of Intraoperative Ultrasound During a Robotic Caudal Pancreatectomy with Splenic Preservation

A neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is a rare type of tumor that can occur anywhere in the pancreas. Diagnosis and treatment of NETs depend on the type of tumor, its location, whether it produces excess hormones, how aggressive it is and whether it has spread to other parts of the pancreas.1
