Enhanced precision in robotic liver surgery improves outcomes

Robotic right anterior sectionectomy, utilizing the extrahepatic glissonean approach and indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence, demonstrates significant advancements in minimally invasive liver surgery. The use of the da Vinci Xi system enabled enhanced dexterity and visualization, which optimized the dissection of the glissonean pedicle and improved surgical precision. Key benefits included minimized remnant ischemia and reduced bile leakage, paving the way for safer, more efficient liver resections.
