BACKGROUND: Aim of the current study was to present the results of the implementation phase of a robotic liver surgery program and to assess the validity of the IWATE difficulty score in predicting difficulty and postoperative complications in roboti...
BACKGROUND: The precise recognition of liver vessels during liver parenchymal dissection is the crucial technique for laparoscopic liver resection (LLR). This retrospective feasibility study aimed to develop artificial intelligence (AI) models to rec...

BACKGROUND: Anatomic virtual hepatectomy with precise liver segmentation for hemilivers, sectors, or Couinaud's segments using conventional three-dimensional simulation is not automated and artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms have not yet b...
INTRODUCTION: Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is a difficult cancer to treat with frequent vascular invasion, local recurrence, and poor survival. Due to the need for biliary anastomosis and potential vascular resection, the standard approach is an open...

BACKGROUND: Since its introduction 2 decades ago, robotics has been increasingly used for resection of benign and malignant liver lesions. The robotic platform seems to preserve minimally invasive approach benefits, overcoming laparoscopy limitations...
BACKGROUND: Identification of resections with high risk of intraoperative complications is critical in guiding case selection for minimally invasive liver surgery. Several Japanese and European difficulty scoring systems have been proposed for laparo...
PURPOSE: In the era of minimal-invasive surgery, the introduction of robotic liver surgery (RS) was accompanied by concerns about the increased financial expenses of the robotic technique in comparison to the established laparoscopic (LS) and convent...
