Robotic liver resection for huge hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is feasible, with comparable perioperative outcomes to regular HCC cases. A single-surgeon study of 337 patients showed no significant differences in major perioperative indicators between regular and huge HCC groups. Effective perioperative risk management suggests potential benefits for subsequent minimally invasive surgeries.

Liver transplantation gave better 5-year survival than liver resection in combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, including tumors within UCSF criteria.
A close-to-open cutting method was used for robotic liver resection, with no bile leaks and shorter hospital stays than after laparoscopy.
Robotic liver resection using a close-to-open forceps technique was associated with no bile leakage and a shorter hospital stay than laparoscopic resection, even though more complex resections were performed in the robotic group.
