Robotic-assisted liver surgeries outperform laparoscopic and open methods in complex cases

Minimally invasive liver surgeries demonstrate significant benefits over open resections, especially in advanced cases. Among 686 patients, robotic-assisted procedures reduced major complications to 8%, compared to 17% for laparoscopic and 23% for open surgeries. Both laparoscopic and robotic approaches showed lower blood loss and shorter hospital stays across various difficulty levels, emphasizing their safety and effectiveness. Tailoring surgical techniques to case complexity is crucial for optimal outcomes.
