Short term outcomes of Robotic/Laparoscopic/Hybrid-robotic-laparoscopic versus Open Pancreaticoduodenectomy:A Prospective Observational Study

Minimally invasive surgery appears to be safe and more precise as compared to open surgeries, leading to better outcomes in post-operative period, forming rationale for our study. Hence comparing the comprehensive complication index between robotic/laparoscopic/hybrid robotic-laparoscopic vs open studies  will lead to our desired outcome of finding better method with lesser complications for patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomies.

We will also compare grade B and C pancreas specific complications, re-operation, re-intervention and readmission, and also 30 day mortality of patients in the post-operative period. The patients will be followed up in day 15 and day 30 following surgery.
