Perioperative and oncologic outcome of robot-assisted minimally invasive (hybrid laparoscopic and robotic) pancreatoduodenectomy: based on pancreatic fistula risk score and cancer/staging matched comparison with open pancreatoduodenectomy

Robotic surgery is a novel approach that scores over conventional minimally invasive approaches, even in pancreatic surgery. We investigated clinical outcomes of robot-assisted minimally invasive (hybrid laparoscopic and robotic) pancreatoduodenectomy (RA-MIPD). Total 150 patients who underwent RA-MIPD between 2015 and 2018 were compared with 710 patients who underwent open pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) during the same period. Demographics and...
