Article Abstract
Background: High morbidity and mortality make pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) one of the most complicated surgical procedures. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the outcomes of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD).
Method: A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Cochrane Central, and Google Scholar was conducted from inception to November 2024. Studies comparing RPD and OPD in adults aged ≥ 18 years were included. Data for the outcomes of interest were extracted.
Results: Forty-one studies with a total of 54,287 patients were pooled. RPD is significantly superior to OPD in terms of overall postoperative complications (RR = 0.91, 95% CI: [0.86-0.97]; p = 0.001), wound infections (RR = 0.63, 95% CI: [0.49-0.81], p = 0.0004), estimated blood loss (WMD = -171.99 ml, 95% CI: [ -217.76 to -126.22], p < 0.01) and hospitalization duration (WMD = -1.33 days, 95% CI: [ -1.84 to -0.82], p < 0.01) with a longer operating time (WMD = 73.22 min, 95% CI: [56.20 to 90.23], p < 0.01).
Conclusion: In conclusion, RPD shows a lower risk of wound infections and overall postoperative morbidity compared to OPD. It has lower estimated blood loss, shorter hospitalization duration, and a longer operating time. The two approaches were comparable in terms of resection quality. More high-quality RCTs are required to draw definite conclusions.

Background: Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) is used more commonly, but this surge is mostly based on observational data. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the short-term outcomes between MIPD and open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) using data collected from randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases for RCTs comparing MIPD and OPD published before December 10, 2024.

Background: Enucleation has the advantages of preserving function and avoiding pancreaticoduodenectomy for benign and low-grade malignant neoplasms in the pancreatic head. However, laparoscopic enucleation (LEn) of pancreatic head tumors remains challenging in terms of bleeding control and duct integrity preservation because of the complicated blood supply to the pancreatic head and the adjacent relationships of lesions with the main pancreatic duct (MPD), especially for deep-seated or broad-based lesions. Here, we developed a novel dual-arterial occlusion technique to facilitate LEn of pancreatic head tumors and evaluated its feasibility and safety.

Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is considered to be a cause of morbidity and mortality following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Currently, no reconstructive technique perfectly prevents POPF. Robotic surgery has many advantages and may enhance reconstructive surgery.

Acute-on-chronic pancreatitis is frequently complicated by the formation of pancreatic pseudocysts (PPs). Haemorrhage within a pseudocyst is a life-threatening event, typically resulting from the development of a pseudoaneurysm (PA) involving adjacent arterial structures. First-line treatment is endovascular embolization, an interventional radiology (IR) approach.

Background: Morbidity and mortality following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) have improved; however, the population is aging, and the use of robotic surgery is expanding. This study compares the selection of octogenarians who underwent PD, their outcomes, and whether robotic surgery provides an advantage.
Methods: This is a multi-institutional retrospective review from 2007 to 2023 of patients who underwent PD, including open and robotic approach.
