Indirect comparison of perioperative outcomes between open, laparoscopic, and robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy: Systematic review and network meta-analysis
This analysis aims to compare the perioperative outcomes of three surgical techniques for pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Conducted a systematic review of existing literature on surgical techniques.
Performed a network meta-analysis to evaluate outcomes among open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches.
Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) significantly reduces intraoperative blood loss compared to both laparoscopic and open techniques.
RPD is associated with shorter hospital stays compared to open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD).
Open pancreaticoduodenectomy is the most time-efficient surgical approach.
Abstract
While OPD is the most time-efficient approach, RPD provides significant advantages in reducing intraoperative blood loss and shortening hospital stays compared to both LPD and OPD.
