Pancreatectomy induces cancer-promoting NET formation. The minimally invasive robotic approach may induce fewer NETs, although the current analysis was limited by selection bias. Pancreatic leak resulted in increased NETs. Further study into the potential for NET inhibition during the perioperative period is warranted.
