We report the first patient with PC and SIT who underwent robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy. A 57-year-old male patient presented to our hospital with epigastric pain, nausea, and weight loss over 1 month. Preoperative diagnostic modalities revealed a resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma at the head and neck junction of the pancreas. The patient also had a rare condition called SIT. Then, the patient underwent Da Vinci robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) in our center. After the operation, the patient recovered well without complications. Until now, the patient was followed up 5 months, and the quality of life was well without tumor recurrence or metastasis. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first RPD for PC in SIT patients.展开更多
