Core Tip
Core Tip: The number of liver procedures performed laparoscopically remains highly variable, ranging from 10% up to 80% in some centers, and complex hepatectomies are still confined to expert and experienced laparoscopic liver surgeons. The robotic approach is gradually being introduced in liver surgery and has increased notably in recent years, which could compensate for the inherent difficulties of the laparoscopic approach. In this study, we analyzed our single-center data of robotic liver resections using the da Vinci Xi System®.
