Abstract:
Ninomiya and colleagues introduced a novel approach to the superior mesenteric artery in robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy. The right lateral approach allows repositioning of the superior mesenteric artery to the right-most surface, facilitating safer artery division and simplifying detachment around the superior mesenteric vein, potentially reducing operative time and minimizing blood loss.
