Minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgeries enhance recovery in hepatopancreatobiliary procedures.

• Patients who underwent robotic-assisted gastrectomy had shorter hospital stays and less intraoperative bleeding than those who had open surgeries.
• Operative times differed among procedures due to technical complexity and learning curves.

Surgeons should consider robotic techniques for better postoperative recovery in select patients.

• Overall, advances in surgical imaging and technology offer significant clinical benefits in complex abdominal surgeries.
