Objective To evaluate the effect of Da Vinci surgical system for the treatment of hepatopancreatobiliary diseases.Methods The clinical data of 29 patients with hepatopancreatobiliary diseases who had undergone operations with Da Vinci surgical system from March to November 2009 at the General Hospital of PLA were retrospectively analyzed.Results The operations were successfully done on 28 patients,except 1 patient was converted to open pancreaticoenterostomy.The total operation time was(339±149)minutes,and the time for operations done with Da Vinci surgical system was(285±117)minutes.The postoperative bowl movement recovery time was(33±21)hours,and the length of postoperative hospital stay was(8±6)days.No blood transfusion was needed.Three patients had postoperative complications and were cured by conservative treatment.Conclusion Laparoscopic operations for hepatopancreatobiliary diseases can be applied with the help of the threedimensional imaging system and flexible surgical instruments of the Da Vinci surgical system,and its superiority is more obvious when applied for intractable hepatopancreatobiliary diseases.
