Robotic hemihepatectomy offers a shorter hospital stay compared to open surgery, despite a longer operative time. This minimally invasive approach is feasible and effective for liver resections.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Robotics

Background:

  • Minimally invasive liver resection is increasingly adopted.
  • Laparoscopic major hepatectomy presents significant technical challenges.
  • Robotic assistance may overcome these difficulties, facilitating major hepatectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes of robotic hemihepatectomy with open hemihepatectomy.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of robotic assistance in major liver resections.

Main Methods:

  • A propensity score-matched analysis compared 36 patients undergoing robotic hemihepatectomy with 36 patients undergoing open hemihepatectomy.
  • Data collected included demographic information, operative details, and postoperative outcomes.

  • Patient groups were matched for various clinical and pathological factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Robotic hemihepatectomy resulted in a significantly longer operative time (400.8 min vs 255.4 min) but a shorter postoperative hospital stay (5 days vs 6.5 days).
    • Operative blood loss and resection margins were similar between groups.
    • Complication rates were higher in the robotic group (36.1% vs 22.2%), primarily due to intra-abdominal collections and bile leaks, though not statistically significant.

    Conclusions:

    • Robotic hemihepatectomy is a feasible and effective approach for liver resections.
    • The primary benefit observed is a reduced hospital stay compared to the open technique.
    • While operative time is longer, the overall advantages support the use of robotic assistance.
