Robotic Major Hepatectomy: Influence of Age on Clinical Outcomes.

Background: This study was undertaken to determine if age influences postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing robotic major hepatectomy.

Methods: Ninety-four patients undergoing robotic major hepatectomy were prospectively followed. With regression analysis, demographic data and postoperative outcomes were compared to age.

100 Robotic Distal Pancreatectomies: The Future at Hand.

Introduction: This study was undertaken to examine 100 consecutive robotic distal pancreatectomies with splenectomies, and to compare our outcomes to predicted outcomes as calculated using the American college of surgeons national surgical quality improvement program (ACS NSQIP) Surgical Risk Calculator and to the outcomes contained within NSQIP.

Methods: Outcomes were compared with predicted outcomes, calculated using the ACS NSQIP Surgical Risk Calculator, and with outcomes documented in NSQIP for distal pancreatectomy. For illustrative purposes, data are presented as median (mean ± SD).
