Plasma levels of specific miRNAs and proteins show promise as biomarkers for distinguishing between chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic adenocarcinoma, with high diagnostic performance values. The combination of miRNAs hsa-mir-150-3p, hsa-mir-150-5p, and hsa-mir-214-3p, along with proteins PCDH1 and AMN, could aid in predicting pancreatic adenocarcinoma in patients with chronic pancreatitis.

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.
