Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is considered as a complex and difficult surgical procedure even to the experi-enced surgeons, and it is thought to be the last frontier for mini-really invasive surgeons. Laparoscopic PD, despite the initial enthusiasm towards it, discourages laparoscopic surgeons by its long operating time and procedure-related fatigue resulting from technical difficulties associated with laparoscopic instruments and unstable camera platform. Although robotic surgical system with its known advantages has successfully overcome the limita-tions of traditional laparoscopic surgery, and completed the com-plex and advanced surgical procedures required in PD, reports on robot-assisted (laparobotic) PD remain few. Furthermore, there has not yet been a single report detailing PD techniques modified to take advantage of the Da Vinci platform. In this report, laparobotic PD was successfully performed on 7 patients. Five patients underwent pyloric preserving PD and 2 had stand-ard PD. All the 7 patients ha
