Abstract:
Pancreatic surgery is characterized by great trauma, difficult operation, high risk and high complication rate. Minimally invasive, refined and standardized pancreatic surgery is the future trend. With its advantages of high precision, high safety, and more realistic and clear operating field, robotic pancreatic surgery has gradually become the preferred method of pancreatic surgery worldwide. In the past 10 years, more than a dozen large pancreas centers in China have matured to carry out robotic pancreatic surgery, including pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreaticocaudectomy, pancreatic tumor enucleation, middle pancreatectomy, total pancreatectomy, pancreaticodectomy with duodenum preserved and other pancreatic surgery methods. However, there are still some problems in robotic pancreatic surgery, such as complex system construction, lack of force feedback, inadequate imaging fusion, and immature remote operation. Pancreatic surgeons should continue to carry out high-quality clinical studies on robotic pancreatic surgery to verify its safety and effectiveness, and standardize robotic pancreatic surgery with the accumulation of experience.
