Surgical, survival, and oncological outcomes after vascular resection in robotic and open pancreaticoduodenectomy

ConclusionsPD with vein resection is technically feasible by OPD and RPD in selected patients. Additional SMV/PV would not increase the surgical risks of PD and could achieve similar survival outcomes for pancreatic head adenocarcinoma when compared to PD without vein resection.
