Robotic, laparoscopic, and open liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma: A propensity score matched analysis of perioperative outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Minimally invasive surgery may confer perioperative benefit to patients with resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) but published data are limited. Robotic resection for HCC has recently been introduced in our institution, and the goal of this study is to benchmark patient outcomes against open and laparoscopic surgery.

Methods

A retrospective evaluation was performed of all patients undergoing liver resection for HCC in our institution between September 2012 and November 2022 using a prospectively maintained database. Data were collected relating to demographics, pre-operative staging, co-morbidities, type of resection, operative time, surgical technique, histology, length of stay, and post-operative complications. A propensity score matched analysis was per
