Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex abdominal surgery, often performed openly (OPD).
  • Open PD is associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates.
  • Robotic PD (RPD) has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative since the early 2000s.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes of robotic PD (RPD) with open PD (OPD).
  • To present a case and describe the institutional technique for RPD.
  • To evaluate the potential of RPD as a future standard for pancreatic disease.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of RPD versus OPD outcomes.
  • Case presentation of a patient with a pancreatic head mass undergoing RPD.

  • Description of the institution's specific RPD surgical technique.

    • Main Results:

    • RPD demonstrated less intraoperative blood loss, decreased morbidity and mortality, and shorter hospital stays compared to OPD.
    • Oncological outcomes were similar between RPD and OPD.
    • At a high-volume center, RPD showed lower complication rates with comparable total costs to OPD.

    Conclusions:

    • Robotic PD is a safe and effective alternative to open PD for selected patients.
    • RPD offers significant advantages in terms of patient recovery and complication rates.
    • With comparable oncologic outcomes, RPD may become the future standard for surgical management of pancreatic disease.
