Global benchmarks for robotic liver resections established

An international multicenter study established the first global benchmarks for robotic liver resections (r-lr), analyzing 1,654 cases across 24 expert centers. Key outcome indicators for low-risk procedures were defined, revealing operation times ranging from 190 to 474 minutes and zero 90-day mortality. The study highlights benchmarks for operation time, conversion rates, estimated blood loss, blood transfusion rates, and major morbidity, offering vital reference points for quality assessment and improvement in surgical practice.
