Robotic approach mitigates the effect of major complications on survival after pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary cancer

Background: Major complications (MC) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) have been shown to be an independent predictor of worse oncologic outcomes. There is limited data on the effect of major complications on long-term outcomes after robotic PD (RPD). The aim of this current study is to compare the effect of MC on overall and disease-free survival (DFS) after RPD and open PD (OPD). Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective review of a...
