Porta hepatis dissection, robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy
Porta hepatis dissection, robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy
At the porta hepatis, remove the hepatic artery lymph node to identify the proper hepatic artery and gastroduodenal artery, dividing the gastroduodenal artery with a vascular stapler. If the hepatic artery node is not visualized, a safe location to start dissection is the anterior and left porta hepatis to find the hepatic artery at that location.
