Minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) offers comparable cancer outcomes to open surgery for primary liver tumors, with better patient recovery. Robotic surgery enhances MILS for complex liver resections.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Surgical oncology
  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques

Background:

  • Primary liver tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma, are traditionally managed with open liver surgery.
  • Minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) has emerged as a viable alternative.
  • Advancements in laparoscopic and robotic platforms have expanded the applicability of MILS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current evidence and institutional experience on the role of MILS in managing primary liver tumors.
  • To compare oncologic and perioperative outcomes of MILS versus open liver surgery.
  • To discuss technical aspects and innovations in MILS for liver resections.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on MILS for primary liver tumors.

  • Analysis of institutional experience with laparoscopic and robotic liver surgery.
  • Discussion of surgical techniques, including complex dissections and biliary reconstructions.

    • Main Results:

    • MILS demonstrates equivalent oncologic outcomes compared to open liver surgery for primary liver tumors.
    • MILS is associated with improved perioperative results, such as reduced morbidity and faster recovery.
    • Robotic platforms facilitate complex liver resections, including those requiring intricate dissection and reconstruction.

    Conclusions:

    • MILS is a safe and effective approach for managing primary liver tumors, offering comparable oncologic control to open surgery.
    • MILS provides significant perioperative benefits for patients undergoing liver resection.
    • Robotic assistance enhances the capabilities of MILS, extending its application to more complex liver surgeries.
