[Robot-Assisted Upper Gastrointestinal and Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery: Implementation Using a Stepwise Approach and Analyses of the First 100 Surgical Procedures].

CONCLUSION: Our stepwise approach enables safe implementation of a robotic surgical program for upper GI and HPB surgery with comparable morbidity and mortality even for highly complex procedures. However, highly complex procedures in the learning curve required a high conversion rate.
