Abstract
Choledochal cyst is a condition involving an abnormal dilation of the bile ducts, which can lead to various symptoms and comorbidities, including cancer. The treatment of choice for choledochal cyst is surgical correction including choledochal cyst excision and Roux-en-y hepaticoenterostomy. Minimal invasive methods like laparoscopic methods or robotic methods are used for surgical correction of choledochal cysts; however, it is still controversial which method is superior. A Korean company, LIVESMED, developed Artisential®, a laparoscopic surgical instrument that can overcome the drawbacks of laparoscopic methods. This article presents a case of the first Artisential®-performed surgical excision of a choledochal cyst and hepaticojejunostomy.

Abstract
Background: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) is widely performed for adult choledochal cysts. Few articles compared the robotic and laparoscopic approaches for choledochal cysts. Methods: Between 2014 and 2022, 157 patients who underwent MIS for choledochal cysts were retrospectively analyzed. Perioperative outcomes of patients who underwent totally robotic surgery, robot-assisted surgery, and laparoscopic surgery were compared, respectively. Also, postoperative outcomes of patients with robotic reconstruction and laparoscopic reconstruction during HJ were compared. Results: Perioperative outcomes were comparable between robotic and laparoscopic groups. The suturing technique for the anterior and posterior walls of the HJ differed significantly between the robotic and laparoscopic reconstruction groups (P = .001). However, there were no significant differences in postoperative outcomes, including total complications (P = .304), major complications (P = .411), and postoperative interventions (P = .411), between the two groups. Conclusions: The robotic and laparoscopic approaches for adult choledochal cysts have comparable surgical outcomes. In the MIS era, robotic surgery could be an alternative surgical option for adult choledochal cysts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Benign biliary disease (BBD) is a prevalent condition involving patients who require extrahepatic bile duct resections and reconstructions due to nonmalignant causes. METHODS This study followed all patients who underwent biliary resections for BBD between 2015 and 2023. We excluded those with malignant conditions and patients who had an 'open' operation. Based on the patient's anatomy, the procedures employed were either robotic Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (RYHJ) or robotic choledochoduodenostomy (CDD). RESULTS From the 33 patients studied, 23 were female, and 10 were male. Anesthesiology (ASA) class was 3 ± 0.5; the MELD score was 9 ± 4.1; the Child-Pugh score was 6 ± 1.7. The primary indications for undergoing the operation included iatrogenic bile duct injuries, biliary strictures, and type 1 choledochal cysts. The average surgical duration was about 272 min, and the average blood loss amounted to 79 mL. Postoperatively, three patients experienced major complications, all attributed to anastomotic leaks. The average hospital stay was 4 days, with a readmission rate of 15% within 30 days. During an average follow-up period of 33 months, one patient had to undergo a revision at 18 months due to stricture. This necessitated further duct resection and reanastomosis. Notably, there were no reported hepatectomies, no conversion to the 'open' method, no intraoperative complications, and no mortalities. CONCLUSIONS Robotic extrahepatic bile duct resection and reconstruction with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy or choledochoduodenostomy is safe with an acceptable postoperative morbidity, short hospital length of stay, and low postoperative stricture rate at intermediate duration follow-up.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Choledochal cysts are rare congenital biliary cystic dilations. The US incidence rate varies between 5 and 15 cases per 1,000,000 people. In contrast, Asians, which are a large subset of the population of Hawaii, have an incidence of approximately one in every 1000 births. We report our experience with robot-assisted laparoscopic surgical management with biliary reconstruction of choledochal cysts which to date is the largest American case series to be reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2006 to 2021, patients diagnosed with a choledochal cyst(s) at a tertiary children's hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Perioperative analysis was performed. Complications were defined as immediate, early, or late. The data underwent simple descriptive statistics. RESULTS Nineteen patients underwent choledochal cystectomy and hepaticoduodenostomy. Thirteen underwent a robotic approach while the rest were planned laparoscopic. Eighteen of 19 were female with 15/19 of Asian descent. The ages ranged from 5 mo to 21 y. Presenting diagnoses included jaundice, primary abdominal pain, pancreatitis, and cholangitis. Sixty eight percent had type 1 fusiform cysts while the rest were type 4a. Operative time and length of stay for robotic versus laparoscopic were 321 versus 267 min and 8.2 versus 17.3 d, respectively. For the robotic group, there was one immediate complication due to peritonitis. One-year follow-up revealed two patients requiring endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with dilation/stenting for an anastomotic stricture. There were no anastomotic leaks. CONCLUSIONS Robot-assisted laparoscopic choledochal cystectomy with hepaticoduodenostomy is associated with overall good outcomes with the most common long-term complication being anastomotic stenosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies from Asian countries, including large collectives, have reported excellent results after laparoscopic resection of choledochal malformation (CM). However, the role of laparoscopic CM resection is still controversial outside Asia. We aimed to analyze the outcome of laparoscopic CM resection in our institution and to compare our outcome with the data reported in the literature. METHODS All patients who underwent laparoscopic CM resection in our pediatric surgical department from 2002 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed for surgical details and postoperative complications, which were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. A systematic literature search identified all reports on over 10 cases of laparoscopic pediatric CM resection and surgical details, follow-up, and complication rates were extracted. RESULTS Fifty-seven patients (72% female) with a mean age of 3.6 + 4.1 years underwent laparoscopic CM resection in our department. Conversion rate was 30%. Total complication rate was 28%. The rate of major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade III or more) was 16% and included stricture of the biliodigestive or enteric anastomosis (n = 4), adhesive ileus (n = 3), portal vein thrombosis (n = 1), and recurrent cholangitis with consecutive liver transplantation (n = 1). With increasing experience, complication rates decreased. The majority of publications on laparoscopic CM resections originated from Asia (n = 36) and reported on low complication rates. In contrast, publications originating from non-Asian countries (n = 5) reported on higher complications following laparoscopic CM resection. CONCLUSION Our data indicate that laparoscopic CM resection can be safely performed. The learning curve in combination with the low incidence calls for a centralization of patients who undergo laparoscopic CM resection. There seems to be a discrepancy on complications rates reported from Asian and non-Asian countries following laparoscopic CM resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic resection has higher postoperative mortality and morbidity rates than other abdominal operations. Some centers have reported remarkable postoperative outcomes of minimally invasive surgery. This study investigated the chronological trends of pancreatectomies by analyzing a large-scale database. METHODS The medical records of 5175 patients who underwent pancreatic resection between 1961 and 2019 at a single institution were reviewed. To investigate the chronological change in survival outcomes of periampullary cancer, the survival data of 3,108 patients were analyzed. RESULTS Patient age and the proportion with pancreatic cancer have increased over time. From 2015 to 2019, pancreatic cancer was the most common cause for resection (35.9%), followed by pancreatic cysts (24.8%) and common bile duct cancer (13.4%). The incidence of postoperative complications tended to decrease over time (26.0% from 2000 to 2004; 20.8% from 2015 to 2019). A comparison of survival outcomes of periampullary malignancies by period revealed that patients with pancreatic cancer significantly improved (5-year survival rate: 14.4% before 2000% vs 15.2% from 2000 to 2009% vs 29.0% after 2009, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative outcomes of pancreatic resection have improved over the past few decades. To improve outcomes in the future, an active multidisciplinary approach and postoperative management are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the safety and therapeutic effect of Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) for choledochal cysts (CCs) excisions. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang, VIP, and CBM were searched from database inception to 1 May 2022. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) was used to conduct quality assessments, and RevMan (Version 5.4) was used to perform the meta-analysis. RESULTS In all, 9 studies, involving 623 patients, were analyzed. RAS compared with LAS was associated with less intraoperative blood loss, shorter time to start solid diets, shorter postoperative hospital stay, and lower complications. There was no significant difference in operative time between the two groups, but the total costs were higher in RAS. Our subgroup analysis showed that RAS had significant advantages over LAS in the child group: minor bleeding, shorter length of hospital stay, and fewer postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS The available evidence indicates that the RAS system has the advantages of less intraoperative blood loss, minor tissue damage, quick recovery, and sound healing in treating choledochal cyst, which proves that the RAS is safely feasible. Especially in children, RAS tends to be a better choice.

Abstract
Objectives Minimally invasive cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomies include laparoscopic and robotic-assisted operations. The current systematic review and meta-analysis compared the efficacy between the 2 groups. Methods A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wiley, Cochrane Library and Clinical Trials was performed from May 1995 to December 2021. The primary outcome was postoperative complications, and the secondary outcomes were operative details and postoperative outcomes. Results The meta-analysis enrolled 6 reports including 484 patients (307 in the laparoscopic group and 177 in the robotic-assisted group). The laparoscopic group was associated with lower expenses (MD = −3851.60$, 95% CI = −4031.84 to −3671.36$, P < 0.00001). No significant difference was found in short-term complications (RR = 1.55, 95% CI = 0.74 to 3.23, P = 0.24), long-term complications (RR = 1.40, 95% CI = 0.63 to 3.10, P = 0.41), total complications (RR = 1.53, 95% CI = 0.59 to 3.94, P = 0.38), operative time (MD = −28.75 min, 95% CI = −77.13 to 19.64 min, P = 0.24), blood loss (MD = 2.28 ml, 95% CI = −13.51 to 18.06 ml, P = 0.78) or hospital stays (MD = 0.89 days, 95% CI = −0.13 to 1.91 days, P = 0.09). In subgroup analysis, the laparoscopic operation had shorter operative time (MD = −4.45 min, P = 0.009), and less blood loss (MD = −63.18 ml, P = 0.01) in adult patients. Conclusions Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy have comparable postoperative outcomes. Comparison the efficacy of laparoscopic versus robotic-assisted operation. Reviewing the robotic-assisted operation for choledochal cysts. The advantages and disadvantages of two methods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of da Vinci robot and laparoscopy in treating pediatric choledochal cysts. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from forty-two children diagnosed with choledochal cysts in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2021. Twenty children underwent da Vinci robotic surgery, and the others underwent traditional laparoscopy. We compared differences in general information and preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative differences between the two surgical groups. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in age, gender, weight, type, maximum cyst diameter, preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) value, postoperative complication rate, and postoperative pain score between the two surgical groups (P > 0.05). The average age of the robot-assisted group was 3.62 ± 0.71 years old (range = 1-12 years). There were nineteen cases of Todani type I, one patients of other types, and the maximum cyst diameter was 35.45 ± 9.32 mm (range = 12-56 mm). In the laparoscopic group, the average age was 3.08 ± 0.82 years old (range = 3-10 years). Twenty-one patients had Todani type I, and one had other types. The maximum cyst diameter was 31.94 ± 8.64 mm (range = 10-82 mm). The robot-assisted group had better abdominal drainage, postoperative CRP value, fasting time, and discharge time than the laparoscopic group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Compared with laparoscopy, the da Vinci system has the advantages of less tissue damage, faster recovery, and better healing in the treatment of children with congenital choledochal cysts. With technological advancements and an increased number of experienced surgeons, robotic surgery may become a new trend in surgery.

Abstract
The aim of this following study is to systematically review and analyze the published data comparing laparoscopic surgery and robotic assisted surgery for choledochal cyst excisions through the metrics of operative time, length of hospital stay and postoperative outcome. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Ovid, and the Cochrane Library databases were combed through and data was retrieved from the timespan between January 1995 and October 2021. The primary measures included operative time, intraoperative bleeding, hospital stay, and postoperative complications. Quality and risk of bias were assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. Making use of random-effects models, we pooled the odds ratios (ORs) and mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Six studies comprising a total 484 patients who had undergone either laparoscopic surgery [307 (63.43%) patients] or robot-assisted surgery [177 (36.57%) patients] were included in this analysis. Three of the articles involved adults while the other three involved children. All of the studies were published after 2018 and were retrospective case-control studies. Patients undergoing robotic surgery had a shorter hospital stay (MD, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.56 to 1.35; p < 0.00001) and a longer operative time (MD, -57.52; 95% CI, -67.17 to -47.87; p < 0.00001). And there was no significant discrepancy in complications between the two groups. Compared to laparoscopic surgery, robot-assisted surgery is associated with a shorter hospital stay, scores highly in terms of both safety and feasibility, however it also results in a longer operative time. And the two procedures have the same short- and long-term results.

Abstract
Purpose There are few reports of postoperative long-term malignant risk or postoperative sequelae after surgery for choledochal cysts (CCs). This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with malignancy and the long-term results of operated CC. Methods The patients who underwent surgical treatments for CC between 2003 and 2020 at Seoul National University Hospital were enrolled. Clinicopathologic factors and pre-/postoperative computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging were reviewed. Results Of the 153 patients, Todani classification Ic (36.6%), C-P type (43.8%) anomalous pancreaticobiliary duct union were the most common type respectively. Fourteen patients (9.2%) had biliary tract cancer and a comparison of patients with and without malignancy showed that the diameter of cyst was significantly lower in malignant patients and malignancy was observed to be significantly higher in P-C type. The incidence of long-term complications was 9.8%, and the median time interval was 30 months. The 2 most common complications were cholangitis and stricture (60.0%). There was one case of new cancer near the intrapancreatic remnant bile duct. Conclusion Of the resected CCs, 9.2% had a combined malignancy on the biliary tracts. Long-term complications such as cholangitis, anastomotic stricture, and new cancers may occur. Therefore, continuous surveillance is required.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) and biliary tract cancer (BTC) are both aggressive and highly fatal malignancies. Nowadays we have a profound knowledge about the molecular landscape of these neoplasms and this has allowed new therapeutic options. Surgery is the only potentially curative therapy in both cancers, but disease recurrence is frequent. In PC, adjuvant treatment with mFOLFIRINOX has improved overall survival (OS) and in BTC adjuvant treatment with capecitabine seems to improve OS and relapse-free survival. Concomitant radio-chemotherapy could also be considered following R1 surgery in both neoplasms. Neoadjuvant treatment represents the best option for achieving an R0 resection in borderline PC. Upfront systemic chemotherapy is the treatment of choice in unresectable locally advanced PC and BTC; then locoregional therapy could be considered after an initial period of at least 3-4 months of systemic chemotherapy. In metastatic PC, FOLFIRINOX or Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel have improved OS compared with gemcitabine alone. In metastatic BTC, cisplatin plus gemcitabine constitute the standard treatment. Progress in the knowledge of molecular biology has enabled the identification of new targets for therapy with encouraging results that could in the future improve the survival and quality of life of patients with PC and BTC.

Abstract
Introduction: Minimally invasive reconstruction of the biliary tract is complex and involves multiple steps. The procedure is challenging and has been an essential technique in modern hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery in recent years. Additionally, the quality of the reconstruction directly affects long-and short-term complications and affects the prognosis and quality of life. Various minimally invasive reconstruction methods have been developed to improve the reconstruction effect; however, the optimal method remains controversial. Areas covered: In this study, were viewed published studies of minimally invasive biliary reconstruction within the last 5 years and discussed the current status and main complications of minimally invasive biliary reconstruction. More importantly, we introduced the current reconstruction strategies and technical details of minimally invasive biliary reconstruction, which may be potentially helpful for surgeons to choose reconstruction methods and improve reconstruction quality. Expert opinion: Although several improved and modified methods for biliary reconstruction have been developed recently, no single approach is optimal or adaptable to all situations. Patient-specific selection of appropriate technical strategies according to different situations combined with sophisticated and skilled minimally invasive techniques effectively improves the quality of anastomosis and reduces complications.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Minimally invasive surgery is a widely accepted approach in hepatobiliary surgery and choledochal cyst excision has also been performed by minimally invasive methods, including laparoscopic and robotic approaches. However, only a few studies have compared laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Therefore, we performed a comparative study between two groups, including cost aspects. Methods We retrospectively analyzed minimally invasive choledochal cyst excision at Severance Hospital in Seoul, South Korea from January 2005 to December 2018. A total of 39 patients that underwent minimally invasive choledochal cyst excision were identified. The 23 patients (58.9%) and 16 patients (41.1%) were enrolled in laparoscopic and robotic approach, respectively. We compared the patient's characteristics, and perioperative outcomes between laparoscopic and robotic surgery groups. Results A comparative analysis between the two groups showed no differences in preoperative clinical characteristics. There were no significant differences in operative time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative complications, including biliary complication. The preoperative ASA score (p=0.021) and hospital stays (p=0.011) were the only clinical variables that differed between the two groups. All of the variables included in the cost analysis showed statistically significant differences (total hospital charge: p=0.035, patient's bill: p≤0.001, operation: p=0.002, anesthesia: p=0.001, postoperative management: p=0.001). Conclusions The overall clinical outcomes between the laparoscopic and robotic approach to choledochal cyst were comparable. The surgical approach should be balanced based on the surgeons' skill, patients' general condition, disease extent, and economic status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A variety of techniques have been described for the construction of the HJ (hepaticojejunostomy). Due to its technical challenges, HJ is rarely performed in a pure laparoscopic setting. In stark contrast, the increasing availability of the robotic platform has sparked new interest in pursuing this procedure in a minimally invasive fashion. The aim of our study was to describe our surgical technique and to identify risk factors for anastomotic leak and stenosis following robotic surgery. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database, including all consecutive HJ carried out for different indications over a 10 year period. RESULTS One hundred fifty-two patients undergoing robotic HJ performed by the same surgeon were analyzed. Bile leak occurred in 2.6% of the patients. Stricture rate was 3.3%. The median follow up was 25.5 months. There was no mortality related to anastomotic complications. On univariate analysis, patient's age less than 65 years was the only risk factor for anastomotic stricture. On multivariate analysis, no predictor factors for leak or stenosis were identified. CONCLUSION HJs carried out in a robotic fashion allow highly satisfactory results. No independent risk factors for bile leak of stenosis were identified on multivariate analysis.

Outcomes in robotic versus laparoscopic-assisted choledochal cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy in children. Surg Endosc 2020; 35:5009-5014.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is becoming more popular because of the excellent performance in anastomosis and knot tying, especially in complex surgical procedures such as hepaticojejunostomy. As for operative time and costs, laparoscopic-assisted surgery (LAS) seem to be more advantageous. To date, there are only limited studies focusing on the comparison between RAS and LAS. This study aims to investigate differences in intraoperative and postoperative outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic approaches. METHODS We performed a retrospective case-control study of 140 patients operated via mini-invasive approaches for choledochal cyst (CC) excision and hepaticojejunostomy at the Wuhan Union Hospital from Jun 2014 to Dec 2019. A multivariable logistic regression model for odds to having complications was built. RESULTS The two groups were similar in age, sex, follow-up time, and Todani modification of the Alonso-Lej classification distribution. Patients undergoing RAS had longer overall operative time, shorter cyst excision time, shorter hepaticojejunostomy time, less estimated blood loss, a smaller postoperative high fever rate, shorter postoperative LOS, and a lower postoperative complication rate. Moreover, the intraoperative anatomy structures were more explicit in group RAS, such as the exposure of left or right hepatic duct opening and intrapancreatic bile duct. Multivariable logistic regression showed that longer hepaticojejunostomy time was the only risk factor of postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Robotic-assisted CC excision and hepaticojejunostomy was associated with better intraoperative and short-term postoperative outcomes when compared to laparoscopic-assisted surgery.

Abstract
Background: Minimally-invasive pancreato-biliary surgery (MIPBS) is increasingly reported worldwide. This study examines the changing trends, safety and outcomes associated with the adoption of MIPBS based on a contemporary experience of an early adopter in Southeast Asia. Methods: Retrospective review of 114 consecutive patients who underwent MIPBS by a single surgeon over 86 months from 2011. The study population was stratified into three equal groups of 38 patients. Comparison was also performed between minimally-invasive pancreato surgery (MIPS) and minimally-invasive biliary surgery (MIBS). Results: There were 70 MIPS and 44 MIBS. Sixty-three cases (55.3%) were performed using robotic assistance and fourteen (12.3%) were hybrid procedures with open reconstruction. Forty-four (38.6%) procedures were performed for malignancy. There were 8 (7.0%) open conversions and median operation time was 335 (range, 60–930) min. There were nine extended pancreatectomies including seven involving vascular reconstructions. Major morbidity (>Grade 2) occurred in 20 (17.5%) patients including 6 (5.3%) reoperations and there was no mortality. Comparison across the three groups demonstrated that with increasing experience, there was a significant trend in a higher proportion of higher ASA score patients, increasing frequency of procedures requiring anastomosis and increasing the use of robotic assistance without significant difference in key perioperative outcomes such as open conversion rate, morbidity and hospital stay. Comparison between MIPS and MIBS demonstrated that MIPS was associated with significantly longer operation time, increased blood loss, increased transfusion rate, longer hospital stay, increased readmission rate and increased morbidity. Conclusion: MIPBS can be safely adopted today with a low open conversion rate.

Abstract
Choledochal cysts (CCs) are rare bile duct dilatations, intra-and/or extrahepatic, and have higher prevalence in the Asian population compared to Western populations. Most of the current literature on CC disease originates from Asia where these entities are most prevalent. They are thought to arise from an anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction, which are congenital anomalies between pancreatic and bile ducts. Some similarities in presentation between Eastern and Western patients exist such as female predominance, however, contemporary studies suggest that Asian patients may be more symptomatic on presentation. Even though CC disease presents with an increased malignant risk reported to be more than 10% after the second decade of life in Asian patients, this risk may be overstated in Western populations. Despite this difference in cancer risk, management guidelines for all patients with CC are based predominantly on observations reported from Asia where it is recommended that all CCs should be excised out of concern for the presence or development of biliary tract cancer.
