Robotic Roux-en-Y Bilioenteric Reconstruction

Abstract: The authors report technical details of robotic bilioenteric reconstruction done for variable indications: choledochal cyst and biliary stricture. Robotic bilioenteric anastomosis as alternative to open reconstruction, offers advantages of minimal access surgery without compromising the precision of open surgery for hilar dissection and reconstruction. Both patients recovered uneventfully and remain symptom-free 18 and 15 months after surgery.

“…It has been proven to be a safe technique by several groups and outcomes are comparable to open surgery. 1,4,8,9 Kadaba et al 10 reported a series of four hundred and sixty-two open biliary-enteric anastomoses performed for a variety of indications. They concluded that biliary reconstruction following biliary injury and an anastomosis above the confluence were the only significant independent risk factors for anastomotic leak.…”

“…A minimally invasive technique, especially the laparoscopic approach, is used by surgeons primarily for type 1 and 2 strictures but has yet to gain popularity due to the technical challenges encountered, mainly during reconstruction. There are minimal data on the robotic approach for the repair of post-cholecystectomy biliary strictures [ 4 , 5 ].…”
