supported by a grant from Intuitive Foundation for the development of the LIVEROBOT European training program in robotic liver surgery.
The robotic platform enables surgeons to operate with a similar level of freedom and control as in open surgery,while still providing the patient with the benefits of a minimally invasive approach.More centres continu...
I read the article titled“Safety and Efficacy of Robotic vs Open Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma”,published in JAMA Surgery with great interest(1).This study marks an important milestone in the field of...
Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and represents the predominant form of primary liver cancer,accounting for approximately 90%of cases(1).Predictions indicate a signifi...
We read with great interest the randomized controlled trial(RCT)by Klotz et al.(1),which is the first to compare the 90-day postoperative morbidity of minimally invasive robotic partial pancreatoduodenectomy(RPD)to th...
National Research Foundation of Korea(NRF)grant funded by the Korean government(MSIT)(RS-2023-00217123).
Minimally invasive surgery(MIS)has significantly progressed and emerged as the preferred approach for various gastrointestinal procedures,including gastrectomy,cholecystectomy,and various colorectal surgeries(1).Howev...
Background:Economic impact of robotic liver surgery(RLS)is still a debated issue due to the heterogeneity of liver resections considered and the lack of a rigorous methodology.Therefore,the aim of this study is to per...
Liver transplantation(LT)is the best treatment for end-stage liver disease and primary liver malignancy.In the eastern part of the world,most LT procedure are performed from a living donor graft.Consequently,the livin...
We read with great interest the study by Kalata et al.published in JAMA Surgery comparing the safety of robotic-assisted cholecystectomy(RAC)vs.laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)(1).This nationwide cohort study from the...
Background:With the rapid development of robotic surgery,especially for the abdominal surgery,robotic pancreatic surgery(RPS)has been applied increasingly around the world.However,evidence-based guidelines regarding i...
Introduction The hybrid robotic-laparoscopic technique has been described-in the field of hepatic surgery-in order to overcome procedural challenges related to the lack of the robotic ultrasonic dissector(1-4):Robo-La...
