Abstract
BackgroundRobotic liver resection is a hot topic in the field of liver surgery in recent years. We report our initial experience with robotic liver caudate lobectomy and discuss its safety. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 13 patients who underwent the robotic liver caudate lobectomy between May 2018 and May 2021 in a single institution. The details of the surgical strategy were described. ResultsAll operations were performed robotically, and six operations were combined with other sites resection. The average operation time was 207.69 ± 104.81 min (single caudate lobectomy: 155.71 ± 45.41 min); intraoperative bleeding volume was 102.31 ± 158.84 ml (single: 42.14 ± 30.26 ml); and the average postoperative hospital stay was 5.08 ± 3.04 days (single: 3 ± 0.82 days). No deaths or serious surgical complications occurred perioperatively. ConclusionThis study suggests that robotic surgery is safe, effective, and feasible for liver caudate lobectomy.
