Single-Arm Robotic Pancreaticoduodenectomy Using the da Vinci SP Surgical System With a Right Posterior Approach and External Traction.

Fukuoka and colleagues, with accompanying videos, described single-arm robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy using the da Vinci SP Surgical System. Combining a right posterior approach with external traction using an internal organ retractor provided stable exposure while preserving robotic arm availability, facilitating secure dissection around the superior mesenteric artery and improving procedural reproducibility.
