Abstract
Purpose
To report on a successful case of robotic remote left lateral hepatectomy.
Methods
A 56-year-old female patient with a liver hemangioma in the left lateral segment underwent robotic remote left lateral hepatectomy at Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital (PLAGH).
Results
The surgery lasted 1 h and 21 min with minimal blood loss and was conducted using a 5G network with a one-way delay of 40 ms. The patient was discharged in one day post-surgery. There were no complications, including hemorrhage or bile leakage.
Conclusions
This case highlights the potential of telesurgery in hepatic surgeries to improve access to specialized surgery while addressing logistical, ethical and technological challenges.
目的报道一例成功的机器人左外侧肝切除术。方法56岁女性左外侧肝血管瘤患者在中国人民解放军总医院行机器人左外侧肝切除术。结果手术时间1 h 21 min,出血量最小,手术采用5G网络,单向延时40 ms。患者术后1天出院。没有并发症,包括出血或胆漏。结论:本病例强调了远程手术在肝脏手术中的潜力,在解决后勤、伦理和技术挑战的同时,提高了专业手术的可及性。
