I had mine removed roboticly by a very experienced surgeon. The recovery was very quick. Distal pacreatectomy and splenectomy since my tumor invaded the spleen. Minimal pain. But find a surgeon who does alot of them. Robotics is a skill.

Thanks I did. My surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering is an expert on NETs and the robotic surgery, so was blessed.

You were lucky, there was no pain. I was in CRAZY pain and on painkillers for 2 weeks and have a fistula now, so drain still in. I am still recovering 3 weeks later...
