Robotic-assisted hepatectomy proves cost-effective and safe.

Findings indicate that robotic-assisted hepatectomy in a high-volume center leads to shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and lower severe morbidity rates compared to traditional methods. Analyzing 111 patients from Lille University Hospital revealed costs dropped from €12,169 in 2018 to €8,513 in 2021, cumulatively saving €259,576 for the 71 patients in the latter cohort. These results underscore robotic surgery’s growing role as a safe and financially advantageous option for liver procedures.
