Key Images and Technical Considerations for Minimally Invasive Robotics in Pancreaticobiliary Surgery
Shawn Mackenzie*, Kambiz Kosari, Timothy D. Sielaff
Virginia Piper Cancer Institute, Minneapolis, MN
Advances in robotic surgery have allowed the frontiers of minimally invasive surgery to expand to Pancreaticobiliary surgery A discussion of minimally invasive robotic operative techniques, with video illustrations for the Whipple procedure, distal pancreatectomy, and a choledochal cyst excision, will be presented. Focus will be on key technical maneuvers in pancreaticobiliary surgery; including robotic visualization & magnification, portal vein dissection, sewing the pancreatic duct anastomosis, dissecting in the porta hepatis, and transection of the uncinate process during a pancreaticoduodenectomy
