Surgical Outcomes of Sequential Robot‐Assisted Hepatobiliary–Pancreatic Surgery in a Single Operating Room: A Single‐Center Retrospective Analysis of a High‐Volume Center in Japan (TAKUMI‐6)

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigated the surgical outcomes of sequential robot‐assisted hepatobiliary–pancreatic (HBP) in a single operating room. The outcomes and operating room timelines were comparable between the first and second cases. The median turnover time was 49 min, and the day‐shift completion success rate was 34.4%.
