Robotic management of superior mesenteric artery syndrome.
Robotic surgery is an advanced minimally invasive approach that has become popular over the last decade for its precision and innovative technology. The superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a known but rare cause of duodenal obstruction because of its compression between the superior mesenteric artery and the abdominal aorta.
