The text on each slide
  1. Pancreas | Fundamentals | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | You are performing a partial pancreatectomy in a 7-year-old patient for a pancreatic mass, dissecting next to the splenic vessels. | DOES ROBOTIC SURGERY HAVE A ROLE HERE? | 1/5
  2. Pancreas | Fundamentals | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | THE ANSWER | YES, IT REACHES WHAT HANDS CAN'T | Rotational ability: Bend and rotate beyond the human wrist, where a straight tool can't. | Steady & 3D: A magnified 3D view without hand tremor. | See blood flow in select cases: Most robots have ICG capabilities. | 2/5
  3. Pancreas | Fundamentals | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | WHAT CAN ROBOTIC SURGERY BE USED IN | Surgeries involving gallbladder, adrenal tumors, pancreas, and even donor-kidney surgery. | 3/5
  4. Pancreas | Fundamentals | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | THE TAKEAWAY | For deep, delicate operations, robotics give a surgeon reach that the hand can't, through the smallest incisions. | Robotic surgery in children has a limited role in patients under 10 kg because of patient size. | 4/5
  5. Pancreas | Fundamentals | We're graduating, currently, fellows at Cincinnati Children's... training [them] robotics for a reason. This thing is here to stay. | Juan Pablo Gurria, MD, MSc | Pediatric Surgeon, Division of Pediatric General and Thoracic Surgery, Surgical Director, Pancreas Care Center, Cincinnati Children's | 5/5 | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's
