Update on laparoscopic pancreatectomy in 2010.

摘要: Minimally invasive surgery has been proven to be a safe and effective method of surgically managing several gastrointestinal conditions. In the last ten years, increased expertise in laparoscopic availability new surgical devices have contributed development pancreatic surgery. Currently, distal pancreatectomies for benign/low-grade malignant tumors represent majority resections performed laparoscopically. They are characterized by improved postoperative short-term outcomes compared open Pancreaticoduodenectomy still represents formidable technical challenge laparoscopy. However, pancreaticoduodenectomy feasible with comparable those if at experienced centers. Robotic surgery, recently introduced field minimally improves view maneuverability instruments standard The feasibility safety robotic pancreatectomy reported complex resection. This approach potential bridge gap between allowing indications extended. Almost 15 years after its description, is seeing an exponential growth applications. growing experience laparoscopy introduction robotics will further expand next years.
