Chicago 2009 Video – Robotic Pancraticoduodenectomy: Experience with 70 Cases

P. Addeo SUMMARY This presentation describes a single surgeon ( Prof; PC Giulianotti) experience on robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy over a period of 9 years at two different centers. The intraoperative outcomes of 70 consecutive robotic Whipple’s operation are analyzed and the main technical points of this complex minimally invasive operation underlined. Background/Hypothesis Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a technically demanding procedure performed only in few centers worldwide. Laparoscopy has not gained popularity for this operation due to the technical intrinsic limitations of this approach.

Chicago 2009 Video – Robot-Assisted Major and Extended Hepatectomies

P. Addeo SUMMARY Major liver resections still represent a technical challenge for minimally invasive surgery. This presentation describes the intra and postoperative outcomes of one of the larger series of robotic major liver resections. The encouraging results obtained with the robotic approach for major liver resection in term of conversion rate

Chicago 2009 Video – Robotic Repair of Renal Artery Aneurysm

P. Addeo SUMMARY Renal artery aneurysms (RAA) represent a rare disease. Open surgical repair represents the gold standard for RAA not suitable for endovascular treatment. This presentation shows the technique and the results of a new therapeutic option for RAA repair using robotic surgery.

Chicago 2009 Video – Robotic Central Pancreatectomy

P. Addeo SUMMARY Central pancreatectomy (CP) represents a valid alternative to standard resection for the treatment of benign and low grade malignant tumors located at neck or proximal part of the pancreatic body. Few surgeons have adopted a minimally invasive approach for this operation due to the technical complexity. We present a new approach to CP using robotic surgery.
