Hybrid Laparoscopic and Robotic Pancreaticoduodenectomy
Contributors: Sricharan Chalikonda and R. Matthew Walsh
Two separate general approaches are described to perform minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD): pure laparoscopic and robotic. The technique shown is a hybrid utilizing laparoscopy for the resection and surgical robot for the reconstruction. We feel that this technique combines the advantages of both laparoscopic and robotic surgery.
