BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive techniques have increasingly been adopted for liver resection. This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted liver resection (RALR) with laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) for liver cavernous ...
OBJECTIVES: The accurate prediction of post-hepatectomy early recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is crucial for decision-making regarding postoperative adjuvant treatment and monitoring. We aimed to explore the feasibility of ...
BACKGROUND: Combined liver and bile duct resection with biliary reconstruction for hepatobiliary malignancies are defined as highly complex surgical procedures. The robotic platform may overcome some major limitations of conventional laparoscopic sur...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Minimally invasive liver surgery is evolving worldwide, and robot-assisted liver surgery (RLS) can deliver obvious benefits for patients. However, so far no large case series have documented the learning curve for RLS.

BACKGROUND: This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of robot-assisted hepatectomy (RAH) versus open hepatectomy (OH) for liver tumors (LT).
BACKGROUND: Robotic hepatectomy has gained increasing acceptance across the US. Although the robotic approach offers significant technical advantages, it is still bound by the individual surgeon's learning curve. Proficiency in this approach should t...
BACKGROUND: Caroli's syndrome is a rare disease characterised by non-obstructive dilation of intrahepatic bile ducts, hepatic fibrosis, and an increased risk of developing cholangiocarcinoma. Minimally invasive liver resection has recently been incre...
PURPOSE: Intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) of the liver is a crucial adjunct in every liver resection and may significantly impact intraoperative surgical decisions. However, IOUS is highly operator dependent and has a steep learning curve. We de...
