Robotic resection of duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumour: Preliminary experience from a single centre

摘要

BACKGROUND: Experience in minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (DGISTs) is accumulating, but there is no consensus on the choice of surgical method. AIM: To summarize the technique and feasibility of robotic resection of DGISTs. METHODS: The perioperative and demographic outcomes of a consecutive series of patients who underwent robotic resection and open resection of DGISTs between May 1, 2010 and May 1, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the open surgery group and the robotic surgery group. Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) or limited resection was performed based on the location of the tumour and the distance between the tumour and duodenal papilla. Age, sex, tumour location, tumour size, operation time (OT), estimated blood loss (EBL), postoperative hospital stay (PHS), tumour mitosis, postoperative risk classification, postoperative recurrence and recurrence-free survival were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Robotic resection is safe and feasible for patients with DGISTs, and its therapeutic effect is equivalent to open surgery.
