A Step-By-Step Guide for Robotic Blumgart Pancreaticojejunostomy

<b>Background:</b> In recent years, the use of minimally invasive approaches in pancreatic surgery has progressively increased. One of the key components of pancreaticoduodenectomy is the creation of a pancreato-enteric anastomosis, due to the high risk of postoperative complications, particularly the development of postoperative pancreatic fistula. Among the types of anastomoses, the Blumgart technique has gained popularity due to its ease of reproducibility. <b>Methods:</b> In this guide, we summarize and systematize step by step how to perform a feasible, reproductible and safe robotic Blumgart pancreaticojejunostomy, providing some instructions for its successful completion. <b>Results:</b> Despite the heterogeneity of the published data, duct-to-mucosa Blumgart anastomosis seems to be superior in terms of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula rates compared with other types of pancreato-enteric anastomosis. The advantages of robotic surgery, such as improved precision, greater control, and enhanced visualization, make robotic Blumgart anastomosis a safe, practical, and reproducible technique in the context of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy. <b>Conclusions:</b> Robotic Blumgart pancreaticojejunostomy is a safe and feasible technique for pancreato-enteric anastomosis following pancreaticoduodenectomy when surgical technique is systematized step by step.

<b>Background:</b> In recent years, the use of minimally invasive approaches in pancreatic surgery has progressively increased. One of the key components of pancreaticoduodenectomy is the creation of a pancreato-enteric anastomosis, due to the high risk of postoperative complications, particularly the development of postoperative pancreatic fistula. Among the types of anastomoses, the Blumgart technique has gained popularity due to its ease of reproducibility. <b>Methods:</b> In this guide, we summarize and systematize step by step how to perform a feasible, reproductible and safe robotic Blumgart pancreaticojejunostomy, providing some instructions for its successful completion. <b>Results:</b> Despite the heterogeneity of the published data, duct-to-mucosa Blumgart anastomosis seems to be superior in terms of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula rates compared with other types of pancreato-enteric anastomosis. The advantages of robotic surgery, such as improved precision, greater control, and enhanced visualization, make robotic Blumgart anastomosis a safe, practical, and reproducible technique in the context of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy. <b>Conclusions:</b> Robotic Blumgart pancreaticojejunostomy is a safe and feasible technique for pancreato-enteric anastomosis following pancreaticoduodenectomy when surgical technique is systematized step by step.
