Feasibility and safety of remote robotic hepatectomy: a prospective single-arm study with MP1000 system in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Telesurgery has demonstrated many advantages in certain scenarios. However, given the high risks of liver resection, there have been no prospective studies to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of robotic remote liver resection. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the MP1000 remote surgical system in robot-assisted remote liver resection using the first prospective single-arm cohort study.

Methods

This study was approved by the Clinical Trial Ethics Committee of Huazhong University of Science and Technology ([2024] (324)) and registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2500097679). Six patients were continuously recruited from March 1 to April 18, 2025. After strict preoperative evaluation, robotic liver resection was performed
