Robotic subtotal fenestrating cholecystectomy (SFC) significantly lowers complications compared to traditional laparoscopic SFC, impacting surgical outcomes and patient selection.

• Unplanned postoperative ERCP occurred in 29.2% of laparoscopic SFC patients versus 6.7% in robotic SFC (p=0.01).
• Overall complication rates were 16.6% for robotic SFC compared to 42.7% for laparoscopic (p=0.02).

Robotic SFC also resulted in less blood loss (33.7cc vs. 62.5cc, p=0.01) and fewer days with a surgical drain (2.4 vs. 9.6, p=0.02).

Choose robotic SFC for lower complication risks and improved patient recovery.
