Robotic Hepatectomy Outcomes Improve with ERAS Protocol Implementation

Implementing the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol significantly enhances perioperative outcomes in robotic hepatectomy. A study of 544 patients revealed reduced estimated blood loss—from 214.7 to 141.7 mL—and a drop in 90-day readmission rates from 22.6% to 13.4%. Notably, post-ERAS patients presented higher rates of coronary artery disease and hypertension, yet experienced better overall recovery metrics compared to their pre-ERAS counterparts.
