Robotic single port cholecystectomy offers a safe and feasible minimally invasive option compared to traditional laparoscopic methods. Current evidence does not indicate it is superior to other established surgical techniques.

Area of Science:

Minimally invasive surgery
Surgical robotics
Gastrointestinal surgery

Background:

Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly adopted in surgery.
Single Incision Laparoendoscopic Surgery (SILS) evolved from conventional laparoscopy.
Robotic surgery is being integrated with SILS, creating hybrid approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of robotic single port cholecystectomy.
To compare robotic single port cholecystectomy with conventional laparoscopic and robotic multiport approaches.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive review of English literature was performed.
Studies on robotic single port cholecystectomy were identified and analyzed.
Demographic data, operative parameters, and postoperative outcomes were collected.

Robotic Left Hepatectomy using Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging for an Intrahepatic Complex Biliary Cyst

Published on: June 24, 2022

Main Results:

Twelve studies encompassing 501 patients were analyzed.
Patient demographics were heterogeneous, with most having a BMI <30.
Operative time, blood loss, and conversion rates were comparable to multiport laparoscopy.

Conclusions:

Robotic single port cholecystectomy is a safe and feasible alternative.
Current data do not demonstrate superiority over conventional multiport laparoscopic or manual robotic methods.
