PHOTO CREDIT: INTUITIVE SURGICAL 2024 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. VUENJ.COM 95
