Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates similar overall morbidity between robotic and open partial pancreatoduodenectomy, suggesting both approaches remain safe in high-volume surgical centres.

Key Points

Postoperative cumulative morbidity was comparable between robotic and open partial pancreatoduodenectomy, showing similar overall complication rates at ninety days.
The Comprehensive Complication Index reached 34.02 after robotic resection versus 36.45 for open surgery, with no significant difference observed between groups.
Randomised controlled trial data establish both techniques as safe in high-volume centres, though delayed gastric emptying occurred more frequently after robotic repair.
