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.
Removing large common bile duct stones with a robot rather than laparoscopically was linked to fewer complications and shorter hospital stays, at a higher cost, in a study from one Chinese hospital.
