Robotic Single-Port Right Hepatectomy Shows Promise

Surgeons can safely perform robotic single-port right hepatectomy, offering a minimally invasive option for complex liver resections.

  • The procedure took 241 minutes with minimal blood loss (100 ml) and no transfusions.
  • The patient had negative resection margins and was discharged on postoperative day 7 without complications.

This technique demonstrates feasibility and safety, suggesting it may lead to better outcomes as surgeons gain experience.

  • Despite limitations, such as restricted working space, the ergonomic benefits could encourage wider use in appropriate cases.
