Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the possible advantages of the Robo-Lap (parenchymal transection by laparoscopic ultrasonic dissector and robotic bipolar forceps and scissors) compared with pure robotic technique (parenchymal transection by use of robotic bipolar forceps and scissors) in major anatomical liver resections with specific focus on intraoperative outcomes.
