Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Standard laparoscopy can be challenging for complex liver resections.
  • Robotic surgery offers potential advantages for minimally invasive hepatectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review institutional experience with robotic major hepatectomies (left and right).
  • To report technical considerations and patient outcomes for robotic liver resections.

Main Methods:

  • A prospectively maintained database of robotic major liver resections was screened.
  • Data from 23 patients (12 left, 11 right robotic hepatectomy) were analyzed.
  • Preoperative, short-term, and long-term outcomes were reported.

Main Results:

  • Robotic left hepatectomy (RLH) median operative time: 383 min, EBL: 300 ml, stay: 3 days.
  • Robotic right hepatectomy (RRH) median operative time: 490 min, EBL: 725 ml, stay: 5 days.
  • Patients undergoing robotic resection demonstrated good postoperative outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic major hepatectomy is a viable minimally invasive strategy for liver resections.
  • Positive patient outcomes support robotic approaches for complex liver surgery.
  • Collaborative team learning is essential for mastering and expanding robotic surgical techniques.
