Use of Video Review to Investigate Technical Factors That May Be Associated With Delayed Gastric Emptying After Pancreaticoduodenectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Technical proficiency at robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) and video assessment are promising tools for understanding postoperative outcomes. Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) remains a major driver of cost and morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Objective

To determine if technical variables during RPD are associated with postoperative DGE.

Design, setting, and participants

A retrospective study was conducted of technical assessment performed in all available videos (n = 192) of consecutive RPDs performed at a single academic institution from October 3, 2008, through September 27, 2016.

Exposures

Video review of gastrojejunal anastomosis during RPD.

Main outcomes and measures

Delayed gastric emptying was classified according to Internati
