Abstract
Background: Robotic-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) offers ergonomic advantages, yet its effect on pancreatic fistula risk remains unclear. This study evaluated RPD safety using the alternative fistula risk score (aFRS).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the pancreatoduodenectomy database at Seoul National University Hospital (2014-2023), comparing RPD with open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) in a 1:1 aFRS probability-matched analysis. Baseline characteristics and outcomes were compared overall and by aFRS risk groups.
Results: In the matched cohort, RPD patients had a similar BMI but a higher incidence of soft pancreatic texture, smaller ducts, and increased aFRS probability compared to OPD. Overall, clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) rates were similar (11% vs. 10%, p = 0.84). However, RPD had lower rates of delayed gastric emptying (3.1% vs. 5.4%, p = 0.024) and wound complications (1.9% vs. 5.5%, p < 0.001). Notably, in the high-risk aFRS group, RPD demonstrated significantly lower CR-POPF rates both before (12% vs. 18%, p = 0.049) and after matching (11% vs. 17%, p = 0.042).
Conclusion: RPD is a safe and feasible approach, offering particular benefits in reducing CR-POPF among high-risk patients.
背景:机器人辅助胰十二指肠切除术(RPD)具有人体工程学优势,但其对胰瘘风险的影响尚不清楚。本研究使用替代瘘管风险评分(aFRS)评估RPD的安全性。方法:我们回顾性回顾了首尔国立大学医院(Seoul National University Hospital)的胰十二指肠切除术数据库(2014-2023),以1:1的aFRS概率匹配分析比较RPD和开放式胰十二指肠切除术(OPD)。基线特征和结果进行总体比较,并按aFRS风险组进行比较。结果:在匹配的队列中,与OPD相比,RPD患者具有相似的BMI,但胰腺质地柔软,导管较小,aFRS发生率更高。总体而言,临床相关的术后胰瘘(CR-POPF)发生率相似(11%对10%,p = 0.84)。然而,RPD的胃排空延迟率较低(3.1%对5.4%,p = 0.024),伤口并发症发生率较低(1.9%对5.5%,p)。结论:RPD是一种安全可行的方法,在减少高危患者的CR-POPF方面具有特别的益处。
