Robo-Lap Approach Optimizes Intraoperative Outcomes in Robotic Left and Right Hepatectomy.
BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the possible advantages of the Robo-Lap (parenchymal transection by laparoscopic ultrasonic dissector and robotic bipolar forceps and scissors) compared with pure robotic technique (parenchymal transection by use of robotic bipolar forceps and scissors) in major anatomical liver resections with specific focus on intraoperative outcomes.
METHODS: Major liver resections performed by robotic approach between February 1, 2021 and March 31, 2023 were stratified into two groups according to the approach used to address the phase of liver transection; Pure Robotic Group (n = 21) versus Robo-Lap Group (n = 48). The two groups were compared in terms of intra- and postoperative outcomes and in terms of rate of achievement of intraoperative textbook outcomes.
RESULTS: Conversion rate was similar between the two groups while incidence of adverse intraoperative events (according to Satava classification) was higher in the Pure Robotic compared with the Robo-Lap group (85.7% vs 39.6%, p < 0.001). Time to perform parenchymal transection was significantly shorter in the Robo-Lap group (180 min) compared with the Pure Robotic Group (240 min), p = 0.003. Intraoperative textbook outcomes were achieved in a lower proportion of patients in the Pure Robotic compared with the Robo-Lap group.
CONCLUSION: Outcomes of the present study suggest a favorable role of the Robo-Lap approach in robotic major resections as it allows an improvement of the intraoperative results, a greater probability of an uneventful conduction of the procedure, and therefore, better management of the operating room time.
