The impact of robotics in liver surgery: A worldwide systematic review and short-term outcomes meta-analysis on 2,728 cases

Ruben Ciria et al.

Summary: The study compared the advantages of robotic liver surgery with traditional open and laparoscopic approaches, finding that robotic surgery may offer better short-term outcomes, especially in cases of malignancies. Robotic surgery shows clear advantages over open surgery, but compared to laparoscopic surgery, the costs remain higher.

Short-term outcomes of laparoscopic versus open hepatectomy in the elderly patient: systematic review and meta-analysis

Nicole Hildebrand et al.

Summary: This study compared the short-term outcomes of LH versus OH in elderly patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis, showing that elderly patients undergoing LH had fewer postoperative complications, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stay compared to OH, with non-inferior oncological safety. More trials are needed to further generalize these findings.

Robotic and laparoscopic liver resection-comparative experiences at a high-volume German academic center

E. Lorenz et al.

Summary: Minimally invasive liver surgery, including robotic and laparoscopic approaches, is safe and feasible for treating liver tumors. Both approaches show similar and adequate oncological results, with robotic surgery potentially being more advantageous for advanced and technically challenging procedures.

Experienced bedside-assistants improve operative outcomes for surgeons early in their learning curve for robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy

Alaina Garbens et al.

Summary: The study found that in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, having an experienced bedside assistant can significantly reduce positive margin rates and improve peri-operative outcomes, particularly by decreasing estimated blood loss and length of hospital stay.
