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. This paper reports and discusses the management of 2 patients who presented with this syndrome and were treated using the robot.
