“…Robotic MIS hepatectomy as a field is moving past its infancy. Nota et al (12) recently reported a collected series analysis of the 12 best studies up to 2015 (7,8,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). There is no doubt that hemi-hepatectomies can be performed with safety by the robotically-assisted approach (7,8).…”

“…Use of robotic surgical system for liver surgery was reported by Vibert E et al [1] in 2003 where they used it for pedicle dissection and initial hepatotomy; since then, many case series have been published reporting on the safety, limited conversion rates, reasonable blood loss, and minimal postoperative morbidity, even for major hepatectomy [2][3][4][5]. This is the first reported case of robotic left hepatectomy in India.…”

Robotic surgical platform is being increasingly used by liver surgeons for performing minimal invasive liver surgery, with results comparable to open surgery and added benefits of laparoscopic approach. The authors describe a case of robotic left hepatectomy done for recurrent pyogenic cholangitis. This is the first reported case of robotic hepatectomy done in India.Keywords Robotic . Liver . Resection . Recurrent pyogenic cholangitis Case ReportA 46-year-old male presented with history of recurrent fever with chills and abdominal pain since 2012. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) done in September 2013 showed dilated left hepatic duct; papillotomy with balloon sweeping was done. Repeat ERCP and balloon sweeping was done for cholangitis in October 2014. ERCP for recurrent symptoms in March 2015 found dilated common bile duct, left hepatic duct, and left intrahepatic bile duct stricture; reaching a diagnosis of recurrent pyogenic cholangitis. Computed tomography (Fig. 1) showed cholangiolar abscesses in left lobe and intrahepatic bile duct dilation with pneumobilia. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed mild dilation of common bile duct/left hepatic duct and left lateral segmental duct stricture with multiple pseudotumor in left lateral segment (Fig. 2). Liver function test showed mild elevation of alkaline phosphatase (179 IU/L) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (101 IU/L); carbohydrate antigen 19-9 was elevated at 160 U/ml. Total robotic left lobe liver resection was performed after treatment for cholangitis. Intraoperative and postoperative course was uneventful; no blood transfusion was required, and patient was discharged after 5 days. Pathology showed dilated, inflammed bile ducts and intrahepatic abscesses, with no evidence of malignancy.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common malignant tumor worldwide and the most common primary liver cancer, in over 80% of cases HCC grown on a cirrhotic liver. Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is now worldwide accepted considering the excellent results shown. Minimally invasive surgical approach for HCC is increasing continuously and in specialized centers seems to become the first-line approach for those patients. The aim of this review presents and discusses state of the art in the laparoscopic and robotic surgical treatment of HCC. An electronic search was performed to identify all studies dealing with HCC resected with laparoscopy or robotic approach. Indications for laparoscopic resection, robotic assisted and totally robotic resection of HCC will be doubtless increased in future years.LLR and robotic approach for HCC is safe and feasible.

Robotic liver resection: technique and results of 30 consecutive procedures

Abstract: From our experience, robotic liver resection seems to be a feasible and safe procedure, even for major hepatectomy. Robotic surgery can be considered a new advanced option for minimally invasive liver surgery.
