ROBOT-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy in 300 consecutive cases: Annual trend analysis and propensity score-matched comparison of perioperative and long-term oncologic outcomes with the open method.

Robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy demonstrated similar perioperative outcomes with earlier recovery and equivalent long-term survival with open PD. RAPD is safe and feasible for periampullary lesions, including pancreatic cancers, and its role will expand in the era of minimally invasive surgery.
