Brief summary

Robot-assisted laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RLPD) is a novel minimally invasive surgery technique. None of prospective studies of large sample size comparing RLPD and OPD have been presented and long-tern oncologic outcome is lacking.This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the effectiveness and advancement of RLPD versus open PD (OPD).

Interventions

Robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy Robot-assisted laparoscopy is the most advanced minimally invasive surgery technique characteristic of a magnified three-dimensional visualization and endowrist instruments with greater range of motion.Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a major surgical operation involving the pancreas, duodenum, and pylorus in most cases. Approximate duration required to complete robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy is about 410minutes.

Inclusion criteria

Being at least 18 years old; a resectable malignant or borderline malignant pathology of the pancreatic head (including stage I and II pancreatic cancer), distal common bile duct, or periampullary region in accordance with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines; and having received no neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy.

Exclusion criteria

Having an excessively large lesion (tumor size >10 cm) invading adjacent organs and major vessels; involvement of superior mesenteric vein or portal vein (PV) longer than 3 cm possibly requiring interposed graft reconstruction, for which OPD was determined to be more suitable than RLDP; scheduled for surgical treatment other than PD, such as palliative biliary and gastroenteric anastomoses; presence of complicating serious cardiopulmonary or hepatorenal insufficiency; extensive intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal metastases; and refusal to participate in or withdrawing from this study.
