Robot-assisted resection of duodenal inferior horizontal part and duodeno-jejunal transition

Abstract

Robot-assisted resection of duodenal inferior horizontal part and duodeno-jejunal transition was performed in 5 patients with tumors in this area including gastrointestinal stromal tumor in 4 cases and jejunal adenocarcinoma in 1 case. It is suggested there section method with vertical and inferior horizontal parts and pancreatic head dissection right-to-left. There were no intra- and postoperative complications.
