Abstract
Background: Robotic surgery has been developed as an additional minimally invasive approach to pancreatectomy. We assessed case selection and perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing robotic pancreatectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma over time.
Methods: The National Cancer Database (2010-2019) was queried to identify all pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients that underwent robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) or distal pancreatectomy (RDP). Two periods were established: Early cohort (2010-2014) and Modern cohort (2015-2019).
Results: Of 2245 patients who underwent RPD or RDP, 78.4 % of RPD and 77.6 % of RDP were in the Modern cohort. Robotic approach increased from 2010 to 2019 (RPD: 1.1 %-7.5 %, RDP: 2.2 %-19.4 %; both p < 0.001). Compared to Early, Modern RPD patients were more likely to have non-private insurance (68.5 % vs. 58.7 %), and both RPD (47.0 % vs. 23.4 %) and RDP (47.3 % vs. 32.1 %) patients were more frequently treated in non-academic hospitals (all p < 0.01). Shorter LOS was noted in the Modern RPD (6 vs. 8 days) and RDP cohorts (5 vs. 6 days, both p < 0.001), without differences in readmission/mortality. In RPD and RDP, no differences in overall survival were observed between the eras.
Conclusions: Robotic pancreatectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma has increased over time with greater inclusion of patients and hospital types while outcomes have remained similar.
期刊介绍:
HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication.
Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice.
Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice.
HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields.
