Laparoscopic Pancreatoduodenectomy for Pancreatic Cancer Using In-Situ No-Touch Isolation Technique

Published on: February 2, 2022

  • Employed percutaneous techniques to retrieve cable tails, powering devices via direct electric current (DC).

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully anchored and operated instruments, lights, and motors using 2-3 clips per device.
    • Demonstrated effective performance of the integrated engines and lighting systems.

    Conclusions:

    • This simulation successfully integrated independent instruments, lights, and engines into peritoneoscopy.
    • Replacing traditional cannulas with threads or cables offers a method to minimize port requirements.
    • The technique facilitates innovation in wired machines for laparoscopy, single-port surgery, and natural orifice procedures.
