Robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (II): standardized reconstruction phase in 4 steps

Pancreatoduodenectomy remains a surgical challenge. Robotic platforms overcome the limitations associated with laparoscopy thanks to the 7 degrees of freedom, 3D visualization, and the reduction of fine tremor.

Some meta-analyses have demonstrated better perioperative and resection margin results with the use of the robot. Prospective, long-term studies are still necessary to compare robotic surgery with open surgery.

This video demonstrates our standardized technique for the reconstruction phase.
