Researchers compared robotic versus open hepatic arterial infusion pump placement for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The study found that robotic placement led to a significantly shorter time to functional recovery (2 versus 5 days) and hospital stay (3 versus 5 days) compared to open placement. Both groups had similar rates of postoperative complications. Robotic placement allowed more patients to start chemotherapy promptly post-surgery. Overall, robotic haip placement was deemed safe and effective for patients with unresectable ICCA.
