Abstract
Single-incision laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy has not been widely applied due to technical challenges and increased operative risks. The newly released da Vinci SP system has been introduced to overcome these limitations and offer improvements for established robotic single-site procedures. We report our experience of robotic single port plus one port distal pancreatectomy using the da Vinci SP system. We performed robotic distal pancreatectomy in three patients using the da Vinci SP surgical system with one additional port used for applying the energy device and stapling. Technical and clinical feasibility were examined. The mean age and body mass index were 70.7years and 27.8kg/m2, respectively. The mean operation time was 215min. The estimated blood loss was less than 500mL. All patients underwent combined splenectomy. The postoperative course of all patients was uneventful. Robotic distal pancreatectomy using the da Vinci SP system is safe and feasible, with acceptable perioperative outcomes.
