[Robot-assisted liver resection]

[Article in German]
H Aselmann et al. Chirurg. 2017 Jun.

Abstract

Robotic liver resection can overcome some of the limitations of laparoscopic liver surgery; therefore, it is a promising tool to increase the proportion of minimally invasive liver resections. The present article gives an overview of the current literature. Furthermore, the results of a nationwide survey on robotic liver surgery among hospitals in Germany with a DaVinci system used in general visceral surgery and the perioperative results of two German robotic centers are presented.

Keywords: Cost-benefit ratio; DaVinci system; Indications; Learning curve; Long-term results.
