- Robotic-assisted ERCP shows safety and feasibility comparable to conventional ERCP in treating common bile duct stones.
- Adverse event rates were similar between groups, with post-ERCP pancreatitis occurring in 15% of robotic and 10% of conventional cases.
- Technical success for biliary cannulation and stone extraction was 100% in both robotic-assisted and conventional ERCP procedures.
- Procedure time was longer with robotic-assisted ERCP (36.6 min vs. 17.0 min), but cannulation and fluoroscopy times were similar.
- Operator radiation exposure was significantly reduced in robotic-assisted ERCP, with lower levels in the control room compared to the operation room.
- Learning curve analysis indicated performance stabilization after 10-12 cases of robotic-assisted ERCP.
