Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to compare the effectiveness of robot-assisted, laparoscopic-assisted, and open surgeries for treating cholangiocarcinoma using a network Meta-analysis approach.
- - A systematic search of PubMed and Web of Science was conducted for literature on the outcomes of these three surgical methods, with research updated until September 1st, 2024.
- - Results suggest that robot-assisted surgery has better outcomes in terms of certain metrics like R0 resection and complication rates compared to the other methods, while all three have similar operation times; further evidence is necessary to strengthen these conclusions.
