New benchmarks for robotic right hepatectomy (RRH) show it may outperform traditional laparoscopic and open techniques.

• 357 patients analyzed; 172 were low-risk benchmark patients.
• Key reference values for surgical performance: operative time ≤476 min, conversion rate ≤8.2%, major complications ≤23.1%.

Robotic RRH shows lower conversion and complication rates compared to laparoscopic and open approaches, suggesting its rise as the preferred minimally invasive option for right liver tumors.

• Main indications included hepatocellular carcinoma (31%) and colorectal liver metastases (27%).
