Present situation and prospect of Da Vinci robot assisted pancreatic surgery

With the continuous improvement of the diagnosis rate of benign pancreatic disease and the younger age of disease onset, the demand for minimally invasive pancreatic surgery is increasing, meanwhile, how to keep the normal pancreatic tissue as much as possible to reduce the impact on the patients′ life has gained surgeons′ thinking. The Da Vinci robotic surgical system, providing a clearer 3D vision and more accurate operation, makes some difficult minimally invasive pancreatic surgery such as pancreaticoduodenectomy can be carried out extensively.Based on clinical experiences and related literatures, this paper will analyze the present situation of Da Vinci robot assisted pancreatic surgery and give prospects.
