The trunk of Henle (TH) and the posterosuperior pancreaticoduodenal vein, also known as Belcher’sVein (BV), are important anatomical landmarks within the portomesenteric vascular anatomy during robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy. A detailed understanding of these veins is necessary for the safe and effective resection in the robotic approach for oncological surgery of the pancreatic head and uncinate process. This technical note describes in detail the stepwise approach to use these veins as reference landmarks during robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy. This methodology may improve the dissection precision, reduce the vascular injury risk, and enhance the oncological outcomes.
