Abstract

BACKGROUND:: Minimally invasive, robotic techniques for hepatobiliary procedures offer the potential for accelerated recovery and reduced opioid usage. Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy is a technically challenging procedure with a complex reconstruction. In this regard, standardization of the pancreaticojejunostomy technique is critical for safe adoption of robotic technology in pancreatic surgery.
