Robotic Resection Works for Large Central Hepatic Tumors

Robotic liver surgery proves effective for complex resections of benign liver tumors like focal nodular hyperplasia.

• A 24-year-old woman underwent robotic partial hepatectomy for a growing 7 cm FNH with critical hilar involvement.
• The procedure lasted 3 hours with minimal blood loss (100 cc) and no complications.

She was discharged on postoperative day 3, and follow-up showed no recurrence after one year.

• Enhanced visualization and fluorescence guidance were key to preserving vital structures during surgery.
