Safety and Feasibility of Robotic-Assisted Drainage of Symptomatic Pancreatic Pseudocysts: A Case-Series Analysis (with video).
Background: The surgical treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts (PPs) in patients who fail nonoperative management has evolved from aggressive open to a minimally invasive approach. The application of robotic surgery in this setting is scarcely reported. The aim of this study is to analyze the safety and feasibility of the robotic approach to pancreatic pseudocyst drainage. Methods: A single centre retrospective review of consecutive patients undergoing robotic-assisted pancreatic pseudocyst surgeries in an academic tertiary institution was performed. Results: There were 14 patients studied, of whom 10 underwent cystogastrostomy and 4 Roux-En- Y cystojejunostomy. Eight patients had gallstone p…

Rate of Post-Operative Pancreatic Fistula after Robotic-Assisted Pancreaticoduodenectomy with Pancreato-Jejunostomy versus Pancreato-Gastrostomy: A Retrospective Case Matched Comparative Study
Background: Different techniques of pancreatic anastomosis have been described, with inconclusive results in terms of pancreatic fistula reduction. Studies comparing robotic pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) and pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) are scarcely reported. Methods: The present study analyzes the outcomes of two case-matched groups of patients who underwent PG (n = 20) or PJ (n = 40) after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The primary aim was to compare the rate of post-operative pancreatic fistula. Results: Operative time (375 vs. 315 min, p = 0.34), estimated blood loss (270 vs. 295 mL, p = 0.44), and rate of clinically relevant post-operative pancreatic fistula (12.5% vs. 10%, p = 0.82) were simil…

Functional In Vitro Studies Of Buffy Coat Pooled Platelets Cryopreserved In Dimethyl-Sulphoxide With a New System
Abstract Introduction Cryopreservation for long term storage of platelets (PLTs) represents a clinical useful method for avoiding platelet shortage. Many studies have tried to define, in vitro and in vivo, the entity and weight of storage-related PLTs lesions with discordant results related to different methods. We have performed an in vitro prospective study to evaluate PLTs count, viability and function of buffy coat derived pooled platelet concentrates (BC-PLTs) treated with dimethyl-sulphoxide (DMSO) and cryopreserved at -80°C with an innovative patented system not requiring laminal flow hoods and external manipulations. Materials and methods Each BC-PLTs was obtained from 5 buffy coats…
