简介：
Overview
This video vignette presents a robotic approach to enucleation of an intra-pancreatic insulinoma located in the pancreatic head. The procedure demonstrates the feasibility of robotic techniques in managing neuroendocrine tumors.
Key Study Components
Area of Science
- Robotic surgery
- Endocrine tumors
- Pancreatic surgery
Background
- Insulinomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that can cause significant clinical symptoms.
- Robotic surgery offers enhanced precision and visualization during complex procedures.
- Traditional methods of enucleation may have limitations that robotic techniques can address.
- Understanding the surgical approach can improve patient outcomes.
Purpose of Study
- To demonstrate a robotic technique for the enucleation of an insulinoma.
- To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this approach.
- To provide a detailed procedural overview for future reference.
Methods Used
- Robotic-assisted surgery with 3D vision and scaled instrument movement.
- Endoscopic ultrasonography for lesion localization.
- Mobilization of surrounding structures to access the pancreatic head.
- Use of cautery hook and diathermic scissors for enucleation.
Main Results
- The insulinoma was successfully enucleated with minimal complications.
- Histopathological examination confirmed a well-defined neuroendocrine tumor.
- The patient experienced a grade B pancreatic fistula, managed with endoscopic intervention.
- Post-operative recovery was uneventful, with discharge on day seven.
Conclusions
- Robotic enucleation of insulinomas is a feasible and effective technique.
- Further studies are needed to compare outcomes with traditional methods.
- Ultrasonography-guided localization is crucial for successful enucleation.
What is an insulinoma?
An insulinoma is a rare tumor of the pancreas that produces excess insulin, leading to hypoglycemia.
How does robotic surgery improve outcomes?
Robotic surgery offers enhanced precision, better visualization, and potentially reduced recovery times.
What are the risks associated with pancreatic surgery?
Risks include bleeding, infection, and complications such as pancreatic fistula.
What is the significance of endoscopic ultrasonography?
It helps in accurately locating the tumor and assessing its relationship with surrounding structures.
How long is the recovery period after robotic enucleation?
Most patients can expect to be discharged within a week, depending on individual recovery.
Are there alternatives to robotic enucleation?
Yes, traditional open surgery and laparoscopic techniques are alternatives, each with its own benefits and risks.
