BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is becoming more popular because of the excellent performance in anastomosis and knot tying, especially in complex surgical procedures such as hepaticojejunostomy. As for operative time and costs, laparoscopic-assisted surgery (LAS) seem to be more advantageous. To date, there are only limited studies focusing on the comparison between RAS and LAS. This study aims to investigate differences in intraoperative and postoperative outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic approaches.

METHODS: We performed a retrospective case-control study of 140 patients operated via mini-invasive approaches for choledochal cyst (CC) excision and hepaticojejunostomy at the Wuhan Union Hospital from Jun 2014 to Dec 2019. A multivariable logistic regression model for odds to having complications was built.

RESULTS: The two groups were similar in age, sex, follow-up time, and Todani modification of the Alonso-Lej classification distribution. Patients undergoing RAS had longer overall operative time, shorter cyst excision time, shorter hepaticojejunostomy time, less estimated blood loss, a smaller postoperative high fever rate, shorter postoperative LOS, and a lower postoperative complication rate. Moreover, the intraoperative anatomy structures were more explicit in group RAS, such as the exposure of left or right hepatic duct opening and intrapancreatic bile duct. Multivariable logistic regression showed that longer hepaticojejunostomy time was the only risk factor of postoperative complications.

CONCLUSION: Robotic-assisted CC excision and hepaticojejunostomy was associated with better intraoperative and short-term postoperative outcomes when compared to laparoscopic-assisted surgery.
