Article Synopsis
- The study examines the use of the IWATE criteria to evaluate the difficulty of robotic hepatectomy (RH) procedures and their outcomes over the last decade.
- A total of 225 RH operations were analyzed, revealing that most resections were categorized as intermediate or advanced, with a low 30-day complication rate of 14% and no postoperative deaths.
- The findings indicate a correlation between higher IWATE difficulty levels and longer operation times, increased blood loss, and longer hospital stays, with solid survival rates for specific liver cancers being reported.
