Abstract:
Since the first introduction of robotic surgery systems in Korea in 2005, there has been a gradual increase in the number of robotic surgeries performed. However, robotic liver resection is one of the most complex procedures, and its application, especially to children, is still limited. Therefore, in this study, we aim to present our experiences with 2 pediatric patients who underwent robotic liver resection in Asan Medical Center and discuss the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted hepatectomy in pediatrics.
