Lipomas are one of the most common benign tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, typically found in the small and large intestine. While most cases are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, large duodenal lipomas are rare and present a unique set of diagnostic and management challenges due to their complex anatomic relationships with other vital structures. Endoscopic removal of large lipomas carries a risk of bleeding and can be difficult to access. To address these issues, robotic-assisted surgical approaches have been proposed as a viable alternative to laparoscopy, as demonstrated in this case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
