TLDR
This work aimed to combine and meta‐analyse the available literature upon major hepatectomy and found that robotic platforms may provide some advantages over conventional laparoscopy in this setting.
Abstract
Major hepatectomy is still regarded as a technically demanding procedure for which minimally invasive surgery remains limited to selected cases in experienced centres and robotic platforms may provide some advantages over conventional laparoscopy in this setting. We aimed to combine and meta‐analyse the available literature upon this topic.
