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.
