Liver resection, the surgical removal of part of the liver, is
a critical procedure for treating both primary and
metastatic liver tumors. Traditionally, this has been done
through open surgery, which requires large incisions and
results in significant recovery time and risk of complications.
However, advances in surgical technology, particularly with
the introduction of the Da Vinci Robotic System, have
revolutionized this procedure, offering a minimally invasive
alternative for patients. Robotic liver resection using the Da
Vinci system has proven to be a safe and effective option
for many patients, providing significant benefits over
traditional methods.
e Da Vinci robotic system is one of the most advanced tools
available for minimally invasive surgery. is state-of-the-art platform
consists of robotic arms equipped with highly articulated instruments,
controlled by a surgeon operating from a console. e system provides
surgeons with 3D high-definition visualization of the surgical field
and wristed instruments that offer more precision and flexibility than
the human hand. For liver resections, this combination is particularly
beneficial given the complexity of liver anatomy and the critical need
to navigate around blood vessels and bile ducts.
