Abstract
This piece reflects on the significant evolution in liver surgery over the past five years, building upon a previous series we published in your journal in 2020. We discuss the current state of robotic liver surgery, presenting data on its adoption in Italy and the United States, outcomes compared to open and laparoscopic techniques, and its groundbreaking potential in liver transplantation. The editorial is based on robust, recent literature and aims to provide a balanced and insightful perspective for your readership.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques (JLAST) is the leading international peer-reviewed journal for practicing surgeons who want to keep up with the latest thinking and advanced surgical technologies in laparoscopy, endoscopy, NOTES, and robotics. The Journal is ideally suited to surgeons who are early adopters of new technology and techniques. Recognizing that many new technologies and techniques have significant overlap with several surgical specialties, JLAST is the first journal to focus on these topics both in general and pediatric surgery, and includes other surgical subspecialties such as: urology, gynecologic surgery, thoracic surgery, and more.
