Abstract Despite that endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become the gold standard in the treatment of benign biliary obstruction, bilioenteric anastomosis still represents a valid option to treat the increasing number of patients with recalcitrant obstruction, and/or altered anatomy after digestive surgery [1,2]. Minimally invasive techniques have become the standard of care for the surgery of the biliary tract in specialized centers [2,3]. In recent years robotic platforms have shown promising results overcoming some of the technical difficulties of conventional laparoscopy, especially in the case of demanding procedures requiring complex dissection and bilioenteric reconstruction [3].
