    Abstract Background: Pancreatic surgery remains a challenge even to the most experienced surgeons. Despite significant advances in the field, morbidity and mortality continue to have elevated rates even in specialized, high-volume centers. The rise of laparoscopy in the past decades has improved outcomes for patients, but remains unused due to the technical complexities involved.
    Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Key words used in the search include: "robotic surgery," "robotic pancreas surgery," "pancreas surgery," "minimally invasive pancreas surgery," "robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy," and "robotic distal pancreatectomy." The studies included in our review were summarized in a patient intervention comparison and outcome table.
    Results: The use of a robotic platform has emerged to counteract the more challenging aspects of laparoscopic pancreatic surgery, but incurs a high cost. Data, however, show a trend toward ever improving outcomes such as operative time, estimated blood loss, and length of stay, while still offering the benefits of minimally invasive surgery.
    Conclusion: There is no question that the use of robots in surgery will continue to expand, and with this, appropriate measures must be taken to ensure patient safety in the form of standardized education and certification for the future generation of surgeons considering robotic surgery. As robotic pancreatic surgery grows, encouraging data have emerged-as surgeons become more skilled and programs gain experience, patients are being benefited by this expanding technology. Larger, prospective cohorts will also provide more definitive evidence of the benefits of robotic surgery.

    Abstract Introduction: Lower screening rates and poorer outcomes for colorectal cancer have been associated with Hispanic ethnicity and Spanish-speaking status, respectively.
    Methods: We reviewed sequential colorectal cancer patients evaluated by the surgical service at a safety-net hospital (SNH) (2016-2019). Insurance type, stage, cancer type, surgery class (elective/urgent), initial surgeon contact setting (outpatient clinic/inpatient consult), operation (resection/diversion), and follow-up were compared by patient-reported primary spoken language.
    Results: Of 157 patients, 85 (54.1%) were men, 91 (58.0%) had colon cancer, 67 (42.7%) primarily spoke Spanish, and late stage (III or IV) presentations occurred in 83 (52.9%) patients. The median age was 58 y, cancer resection was completed in 48 (30.6%) patients, and 51 (32.5%) patients were initially seen as inpatient consults. On univariate analysis, Spanish-speaking status was significantly associated with female sex, Medicaid insurance, being seen as an outpatient consult, and undergoing elective and resection surgery. On multivariable logistic regression, Spanish-speaking patients had higher odds of having Medicaid insurance (AOR 2.28, P = 0.019), receiving a resection (AOR 3.96, P = 0.006), and undergoing an elective surgery (AOR 3.24, P = 0.025). Spanish-speaking patients also had lower odds of undergoing an initial inpatient consult (AOR 0.34, P = 0.046).
    Conclusions: Spanish-speaking status was associated with a lower likelihood of emergent presentation and need for palliative surgery among SNH colorectal cancer patients. Further research is needed to determine if culturally competent infrastructure in the SNH setting translates into Spanish-speaking status as a potentially protective factor.

    Abstract Introduction: Gastric schwannomas are an extremely rare presentation of mesenchymal tumors originating from Schwann cells, accounting for 0.2% of all gastric tumors. Patients are usually asymptomatic, so these tumors are frequently detected incidentally.
    Presentation of case: 68-year old male patient found to have a 5 cm mass in the lesser curvature of the stomach. After a careful preoperative evaluation, complete laparoscopic resection was performed. Pathology review confirmed a completely resected gastric Schwannoma. The patient's recovery was uneventful. At a one-year follow-up he remains asymptomatic and with no evidence of disease.
    Discussion: We present the uncommon case of a gastric schwannoma that was appropriately treated with a laparoscopic approach and present a current literature review focusing on diagnostic and treatment methods of these rare tumors.
    Conclusion: Schwannomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of gastric tumors and can be appropriately treated with a laparoscopic approach.
