Background Minimally invasive right posterior sectionectomy (RPS) is a technically
challenging procedure. This study was designed to determine outcomes following robotic …

Background The evidence of pairwise meta-analysis of Robotic Hepatectomy (RH) vs
Laparoscopic Hepatectomy (LH) and RH vs Open Hepatectomy (OH) is inconclusive …

Background Posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) contributes significantly to morbidity and
mortality after liver surgery. Standardized assessment of preoperative liver function is crucial …

Background: Theoretical advantages of robotic surgery compared to conventional
laparoscopic surgery include improved instrument dexterity, 3D visualization, and better …

Purpose Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a widely practiced therapeutic method and
holds several advantages over open liver resection (OLR) including less postoperative pain …

Background Minimally invasive techniques have increasingly found their way into liver
surgery in recent years. A multitude of mostly retrospective analyses suggests several …

We reviewed the progress made in the field of liver surgery over the past 50 years. The
widespread use and improved outcomes of the hepatectomy were, primarily, due to pioneer …

Robotic right lobe donor hepatectomy (RRLDH) is rarely performed, and data concerning its
safety and efficacy are lacking. Here we compare our series of RRLDHs with a similar cohort …

Background Indications for a minimally invasive resections are increasing worldwide, but
respecting anatomical planes during intraparenchymal transection is demanding …

Objective: To compare the learning curves of the self-taught “pioneers” of laparoscopic liver
surgery (LLS) with those of the trained “early adopters” in terms of short-and medium-term …
