SUMMARY
Robotics, providing an enhanced vision and fine movements, allows a safe and precise caval dissection. Therefore, a parenchymal sparing liver resection can be carried out also for deeply located liver lesions avoiding major hepatectomies. A training in kidney nephron-sparing surgery had a paramount role to confidently approach the retrohepatic vena cava, as well as the use of hemolock clips to secure the small accessory veins to segments 7 and 1. Left-sided patient position and the trans-costal position of the right robotic trocar are other key point to safely dissect the vena cava gaining the access to segment 7 and 8.

Primary Retroperitoneal Mucinous Cystadenoma

A. Patriti, G.Ceccarelli, L. Casciola

Summary:
Primary mucinous cystic cystadenomas of the retroperitoneum are very rarely encountered. The histogenesis of primary mucinous cystadenomas is unclear. Most authors suggested that it develops through mucinous metaplasia in a pre-existing mesothelium-lined cyst. Complete surgical excision is the only treatment. Care to avoid peritoneal leaks is mandatory to avoid recurrences.

L. Casciola

SUMMARY
Whipple procedure can be safely performed by a robot-assisted approach. Advantages of robotic assistance are especially appreciable during reconstruction of pancreatic and biliary duct continuity.
Encouraging data on good outcome of patients with pancreatic head carcinoma undergone robot-assisted surgery is going to disclose new scenarios in the integrated treatment of this highly aggressive malignancy

SUMMARY
Inflow occlusion in a demanding procedure in laparoscopic liver surgery. An extracorporeal Pringle maneuver can be carried out encircling the hepato-duodenal ligament using an endowristed robotic arm and exteriorizing the tourniquet allowing the on-table surgeon to control intermittent clamping.

SUMMARY
Robotics improves surgeon dexterity and maneuverability during laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication. Robot-assistance should be indicated for complex cases (large or recurrent iatal hernias) and training.
