Article Abstract
Background: With the rapid development of robotic surgery, especially for the abdominal surgery, robotic pancreatic surgery (RPS) has been applied increasingly around the world. However, evidence-based guidelines regarding its application, safety, and efficacy are still lacking. To harvest robust evidence and comprehensive clinical practice, this study aims to develop international guidelines on the use of RPS.
Methods: World Health Organization (WHO) Handbook for Guideline Development, GRADE Grid method, Delphi vote, and the AGREE-II instrument were used to establish the Guideline Steering Group, Guideline Development Group, and Guideline Secretary Group, formulate 19 clinical questions, develop the recommendations, and draft the guidelines. Three online meetings were held on 04/12/2020, 30/11/2021, and 25/01/2022 to vote on the recommendations and get advice and suggestions from all involved experts. All the experts focusing on minimally invasive surgery from America, Europe and Oceania made great contributions to this consensus guideline.
Results: After a systematic literature review 176 studies were included, 19 questions were addressed and 14 recommendations were developed through the expert assessment and comprehensive judgment of the quality and credibility of the evidence.
Conclusions: The international RPS guidelines can guide current practice for surgeons, patients, medical societies, hospital administrators, and related social communities. Further randomized trials are required to determine the added value of RPS as compared to open and laparoscopic surgery.

Introduction: Surgery for resectable gallbladder cancer (GbC) encompasses complex operative management, and evaluating surgical quality through textbook outcome (TO) is crucial. This study aimed to assess TO incidence and impact in a global cohort, identify independent predictors, and evaluate TO rates of minimally invasive (MI) techniques, including robotic (ROB) and laparoscopic (LPS).
Materials And Methods: This cohort study included patients undergoing curative-intent hepatectomy and lymphadenectomy for GbC (T1b-T3) from 2012 to 2023 in 41 hospitals.
Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of minimally invasive versus open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which is a highly aggressive tumor with a high mortality rate. Surgical resection remains the only potentially curative treatment. Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP), including laparoscopic and robotic approaches, has gained popularity, although the evidence of its efficacy is limited.

The robotic approach to liver and pancreatic surgery is expanding worldwide. However, limited data are available on vascular management in these complex procedures. The unique characteristics of the robotic platform may enhance the feasibility of minimally invasive vascular resection and reconstruction.

The care of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis is a complex problem for the general, acute care, minimally invasive, and hepatopancreatobiliary surgeon. In this brief report, we present a case series of 2 patients with fulminant retroperitoneal necrosis recently treated at our center using a novel robotic-assisted retroperitoneal necrosectomy and debridement (RAND) following failure of the step-up approach. This approach maximizes access to the retroperitoneum and allows improved visualization and dexterity in the challenging retroperitoneal space while maintaining minimally invasive surgical principles.

IntroductionVascular infiltration is the main limitation of resectability in locally advanced pancreatic cancer; thus, an accurate preoperative study is mandatory to plan an appropriate surgical strategy. In recent years, medical image fusion and three-dimensional reconstruction models have gained acceptance in general surgery, especially in the hepatic field. In pancreatic pathology, 3D reconstruction also may improves preoperative staging.
