Abstract Background Robot assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy has increased in popularity over recent years. There is evidence from high volume centers which suggests that it is associated with lower risk of post-operative pancreatic fistula than open surgery. The aims of this study were to evaluate our initial experience after robotic assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy and compare if a low volume center can produce similar positive outcomes. Methods The initial 12 patients who were listed for a robot assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy were included in the study in a consecutive manner. A standardised method of anastomosis was used in all surgeries, this being a duct-to-mucosa two-layer modified Blumgart pancreato-jejunostomy. Data was collected prospectively and stored in an encrypted database. Surgical outcomes were then analysed. Results The study included first 12 consecutive patients who underwent robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy between August 2019 and January 2020. None of the patients had clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula despite 75% of the patients falling into moderate to high-risk group for fistula development. Median operative time and length of stay was 547 minutes and 8 days respectively with three  Clavien Dindo grade III complications and three Clavien-Dindo grade II complications. Conclusions Robotic assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy maybe associated with lower risk of post-operative pancreatic fistula in high-risk cases.

Abstract Aim Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is most commonly performed using open surgical techniques. Minimal access approaches have reduced the morbidity of many types of surgery, however technical limitations have hindered the widespread adoption of laparoscopic methods for PD. There has been increasing use of surgical robots to facilitate a minimal access approach, motivated by improved visualisation, ergonomics and dexterity compared to standard laparoscopic methods. Methods for the safe introduction of novel techniques are lacking, and the way in which surgical innovations are reported may affect adoption into clinical practice. The aim of this study is to understand how robotic PD has been reported as a surgical innovation. Method A systematic review is being conducted by the trainee led RoboSurg Collaborative. A literature search was performed to identify primary research reporting outcomes of robotic PD. Articles are being screened in duplicate by title and abstract, then by full text review. The following data will be extracted: study methodology and rationale; centre, surgeons and patient details; governance and ethical considerations; learning curves; details of the intervention, including modifications; and how outcomes were reported, including use of core outcome sets. The data will be analysed using a narrative synthesis method. Results The search identified 1305 articles reporting on robotic pancreas surgery. An interim report of progress will be presented. Conclusions A rich narrative synthesis will enable innovators to understand how robotic PD has been reported. This will encourage transparent, methodical, and meaningful reporting of robotic PD, increasing the quality of clinical evidence.

AbstractObesity increases surgical morbidity and mortality in open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). Its influence on robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the early experience of RPD. Between June 2015 and April 2020, 68 consecutive RPDs were performed at the National Cheng Kung University Hospital. The patients were categorized as normal-weight (BMI < 23 kg/m2), overweight (BMI = 23–27.5 kg/m2), and obese (BMI > 27.5 kg/m2) according to the definition of obesity in Asian people from the World Health Organization expert consultation. Preoperative characteristics, operative details, and postoperative outcomes were prospectively collected. The cumulative sum was used to assess the learning curves. The average age of the patients was 64.8 ± 11.7 years with an average BMI of 24.6 ± 3.7 kg/m2 (23 normal-weight, 29 overweight, and 16 obese patients). Eighteen patients were required to overcome the learning curve. The overall complication rate was 51.5%, and the major complication rate (Clavien grade ≥ III) was 19.1%. The normal-weight group showed the most favorable outcomes. The blood loss, major complication rate, peripancreatic fluid collection rate, and conversion rate were higher in the obese group than in the non-obese group. There were no differences in the operative time, clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula, postoperative hemorrhage, delayed gastric emptying, bile leak, wound infection, reoperation, hospital stay, and readmission rate between the obese and non-obese groups. Multivariate analysis showed obesity as the only independent factor for major complications (OR: 5.983, CI: 1.394–25.682, p = 0.001), indicating that obesity should be considered as a surgical risk factor during the implementation of RPD.
