Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Robotic liver surgery is an advancing minimally invasive technique.
  • Established reference values are crucial for comparing robotic approaches to traditional methods.
  • Expert centers are vital for developing benchmarks in complex procedures like robotic right hepatectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish benchmark values for robotic right hepatectomy (RRH) using a low-risk patient cohort.
  • To compare RRH outcomes against laparoscopic and open right hepatectomy benchmarks.
  • To identify key performance indicators for robotic liver surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of consecutive patients undergoing robotic RH at 22 international expert centers (2018-2024).
  • Inclusion of a low-risk cohort (n=172) without significant comorbidities.
  • Derivation of 15 reference values and comparison with laparoscopic and open RH data.

Main Results:

  • Key reference values established for operative time, conversion rates, bile leaks, and complications.
  • Robotic RH demonstrated lower conversion and R1 rates compared to laparoscopic RH.
  • Robotic RH showed lower rates of major complications and liver failure compared to open RH.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic right hepatectomy offers significant advantages over laparoscopic and open techniques.
  • RRH is emerging as a preferred minimally invasive option for liver tumors.
  • This study provides essential benchmarks for the adoption and evaluation of RRH.
