Abstract
Background
The use of the hinotori™ Surgical System (hinotori) in distal pancreatectomy (DP) is new compared to the da Vinci™ Surgical System (DVSS). The hinotori is equipped with mechanisms distinct from those of DVSS, and comprehensive reports detailing the surgical techniques and outcomes associated with hinotori in DP (hinotori-DP) are lacking. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of DP using the hinotori and DVSS (Xi system), focusing on differences in settings and techniques between the two methods.
Methods
This study retrospectively investigated consecutive patients who underwent robotic DP from April 2010 (the introduction of robotic DP at our institute) to July 2024. The analysis excluded patients who underwent spleen-preserving procedures or procedures performed using robotic platform other than hinotori or daVinci Xi. The hinotori-DP cases were compared with those performed using DVSS (DVSS-DP). The techniques used in hinotori-DP were examined in more detail.
Results
A total of 75 robotic DP cases (11 with hinotori and 64 with DVSS) were analyzed in this study. Different port configurations and techniques, including a lesser curvature approach, were used in the hinotori-DP compared to DVSS-DP. The operation time was relatively shorter in the hinotori-DP group (299 vs. 366 min, p = 0.095), and the postoperative complication rates were comparable (pancreatic fistula: 27 % vs. 30 %, p = 0.871; Clavien–Dindo Grade ≥3a complications: 18 % vs. 19 %, p = 0.964) between the two groups.
Conclusion
The hinotori-DP can be safely performed by focusing on the unique characteristics of the hinotori surgical system.
