Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques
  • Hepatic surgery innovations
  • Surgical robotics applications

Background:

  • Robotic surgery offers enhanced dexterity, tremor elimination, and improved ergonomics for complex procedures.
  • These advantages are particularly beneficial for delicate liver dissections, suturing, and parenchymal transection.
  • Robotic systems provide a stable platform crucial for meticulous hemostasis and biliostasis in liver surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature on open, laparoscopic, and robotic liver surgery.
  • To provide an overview of existing standards and identify future directions for robotic liver surgery.
  • To assess the feasibility and outcomes of robotic approaches in liver surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature analysis of English and German publications.
  • Comparative review of open, laparoscopic, and robotic liver surgery techniques.
  • Focus on current standards and future trends in the field.

Main Results:

  • Robotic liver surgery demonstrates safety and feasibility comparable to open and laparoscopic methods.
  • Short-term postoperative outcomes are improved with robotic approaches.
  • Oncological outcomes for robotic liver surgery are at least non-inferior to traditional methods.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic surgery is a reasonable alternative to open surgery for complex liver resections.
  • It is particularly suitable for major hepatectomies and extended resections with biliary reconstruction.
  • Robotic approaches are emerging as a valuable option for difficult segmentectomies, especially in posterior-superior liver segments.
