Robotic lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (RLPJ) may be used in patients with painful, morphine dependent, chronic pancreatitis and a dilated main pancreatic duct. We describe a standardized and reproducible technique for RLPJ, which includes transection of the gastroduodenal artery.

The current study highlights a standardized approach to the macroscopic assessment of distal pancreatectomy specimens for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, with special emphasis on the measurement of pancreatic dimensions and those of other organs, inking of margins, measurement of tumor size and proximity to margins, lymph node sampling and block selection.

Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy for Pancreatic Head Cancer: a Case Report of a Standardized Technique

Maurice J. W. Zwart^*1,2, Leia R. Jones^*1,2,3, Melissa E. Hogg⁴, Johanna A. M. G. Tol^1,2, Mohammad Abu Hilal³, Freek Daams⁵, Sebastiaan Festen⁶, Olivier R. Busch^1,2, Marc G. Besselink^1,2,

Robotic pancreatoduodenctomy (RPD) has been highly standardized in recent years and may be used in selected patients with pancreatic head cancer, including those with a replaced right hepatic artery. This case report describes a standardized and reproducible technique for RPD, which includes the approach of the Dutch LAELAPS-3 training program to an aberrant vasculature.

Robotic Left Hepatectomy using Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging for an Intrahepatic Complex Biliary Cyst

Burak Görgec^1,2, Babs M. Zonderhuis^2,3, Marc G. Besselink^1,2, Joris Erdmann^1,2,3, Geert Kazemier^2,3, Rutger-Jan Swijnenburg^1,2,3

Robotic liver surgery has gained more acceptance as a feasible, safe, and effective procedure for the treatment of both benign and malignant indications. However, robotic left hepatectomy is still technically demanding. We describe our surgical technique of a robotic left hepatectomy using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging for a large biliary cyst.

Robotic Spleen-Preserving Distal Pancreatectomy: The Warshaw and Kimura Techniques

¹Department of Surgery, Amsterdam UMC, location University of Amsterdam, ²Department of Surgery, Amsterdam UMC, location Vrije Universiteit, ³Cancer Center Amsterdam, ⁴Department of Surgery, OLVG

Here, we present a step-by-step protocol of robotic spleen preserving distal pancreatectomy, with and without preserving the splenic vessels (i.e., the Kimura and Warshaw techniques, respectively).
