Abstract
Advances in robotic surgery have allowed the frontiers of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery to expand. We present a step-by-step approach to the robotic Whipple procedure. The discussion includes port setting and robotic docking, kocherization and superior mesenteric vein identification, portal dissection, releasing the ligament of Treitz, uncinate dissection, and reconstruction. A brief report of our initial 2-year experience with the robotic Whipple procedure is also presented.Entities:
