Study: The robot exceeds people in complex liver surgery

In a new study, it is said that complex liver operations may be better to perform through robot. Surgeons in a large New York City hospital watched 353 operations between 2017 and 2023, during which parts of the patients were removed, including 112 open operations performed by opening large cracks, 107 operations by abdominal laparoscopic surgeons and 134 operations using surgery robots. Taking into account the individual risk factors for patients and the complexity of each case, those who underwent laparoscopically or surgery by the automatic person came, the average period of their stay with 39 and 43%respectively, and the possibilities of complications were 89 and 62%respectively, compared to patients undergoing open surgeries. In a report in the surgical endoscopy science magazine “Surgical Endoscopy”, it is said that the possibility that robot operations need the conversion to require open surgery during surgery was 87% less than the operations of the abdominal endoscopic. In the operations performed to treat malignant crops, the possibilities of reaching clean -up margins were the same without leaving cancer cells, regardless of the method used in surgery. The researchers said that the study was not a random experience and could not definitely prove that surgery with robots is the safest to eradicate liver. Although endoscopic surgery is generally known for reducing blood loss as well as complications and the duration of hospitalization, it is not ideal in complex liver cases. The researchers concluded that “the shift to liver removal using robots can help bridge this gap of complexity.” Researchers in the Department of Surgery and Population Science at Will Cornell Medical Hospital, and the surgery department at the Langon Hospital in New York.
