With the listing for coverage by Japanese insurance in April 2020, robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy is rapidly becoming widespread. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a complex procedure with a high incidence of complications. In order to spread and develop this technique safely, it is necessary to properly recognize the current situation and issues of this technique and improve it methodically.
