Objective

To compare the therapeutic effect of robot-assisted and traditional open surgery in caudate lobectomy.

Methods

A total of 77 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in the caudate lobe who underwent robotic or open resection in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from May 2010 to May 2024 were retrospectively enrolled, 61 males and 16 females. There were 50 patients in the open group and 27 patients in the robotic group, with an average age of 58.03±9.64 years.Demographic data, perioperative outcomes and differences in survival outcomes were collected. Propensity scoring match (PSM) was used to balance the baseline data. After PSM, 28 patients were included in the laparotomy group and 18 patients were included in the robot group. The differences in perioperative and prognostic indicators between the two groups were compared after matching.

Results

There were no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups. After PSM, the median (inter quartile range,IQR) operation time and blood loss were 117.50 (107.00, 185.00) min and 50.00 (20.00, 100.00) ml in the robot group, respectively. The postoperative hospital stay was 5.00 (4.00, 6.00) days. There was no conversion to open surgery and no serious postoperative complications. In the open surgery group, the median operation time was 180.50(160.75, 240.00) min, the blood loss was 300.00 (100.00, 425.00) ml, the postoperative hospital stay was 8.50 (7.00, 11.00) d, and 2 patients (7.14%) had severe ascites. Then abdominal puncture and drainage were performed under ultrasound guidance. However, the recurrence free survival (RFS) was (29 months vs. 31 months, P=0.798), the overall survival (OS) was (55 months vs.60 months, P=0.974), and the recurrence free survival (RFS) was (29 months vs. 31 months, P=0.798) in the two groups. The difference was not statistically significant. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that AFP>400 μg/L (P=0.008), tumor diameter >5 cm (P=0.020), multiple tumors (P=0.010), and poor tumor differentiation (P=0.009) were independent risk factors for RFS. microvascular invasion (MVI)and poor tumor differentiation were independent influencing factors for OS (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Robot-assisted caudate lobectomy is superior to open surgery in terms of operation time, blood loss and postoperative hospital stay. There was no significant difference in RFS and OS between the two surgical methods. Robotic hepatic caudate lobectomy is a safe, effective and minimally invasive procedure.

中华腔镜外科杂志(电子版). 2025, (02):  98-104.  DOI: 10.3877/cma.j.issn.1674-6899.2025.02.006
Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1197KB) ( )   Save

Objective

To compare the perioperative efficacy of da Vinci robot and laparoscopic partial hepatectomy in the treatment of hepatic tumors.

Method

Retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 184 patients with hepatic tumors who underwent partial hepatectomy at the Department of Hepatobiliary Pacreatic Surgery and the Second Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Guangzhou First People's Hospital, between Jan. 2021 and Jun. 2023. This cohort comprised two groups: the robot group (n=52) consisting of patients who underwent robotic-assisted partial hepatectomy, and the laparoscope group(n=132) comprising patients who underwent laparoscopic partial hepatectomy. The perioperative status of the robot group was assessed, and a comparison of surgical-related indicators and postoperative complications between the two groups was conducted using propensity score matching.

Results

The average operative time for the robotic surgery group at our center was 177 (145-243.8) minutes. After completing 20 cases,surgeons can begin to navigate the learning curve, with operation time progressively stabilizing. Upon accumulating 42 cases, they can gradually transition into the proficiency phase. After propensity score matching, there were no statistically significant differences in baseline variables such as age, gender, and tumor location between the robotic surgery group and the laparoscopic surgery group (P>0.05). Compared to the laparoscopic surgery group, the robotic surgery group demonstrated significantly shorter operative time for right partial hepatectomy (P=0.0002) and reduced intraoperative blood loss (P=0.006). However,there were no statistically significant differences observed in postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complication rate, postoperative blood transfusion, and duration of antibiotic use (P>0.05).

Conclusion

Laparoscopic and robotic partial hepatectomy with the da Vinci robot are both safe and effective for the treatment of hepatic tumors. Robotic partial hepatectomy for right-sided hepatic tumors has a shorter operation time and less blood loss than laparoscopic partial hepatectomy.

Objective

To compare the perioperative outcomes, pathological characteristics, and lymph node dissection (LND) efficacy between robotic and open surgeries for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) to evaluate the safety and feasibility of robotic-assisted LND.

Methods

This study retrospectively collected clinical data from 148 patients who underwent radical resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with lymphadenectomy at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between Jan. 2018 and Oct. 2023. Patients were stratified into robotic (n=42) and open surgery (n=106)groups. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to eliminate baseline confounding factors.Perioperative parameters, patholog-ical features, and LND outcomes were compared between groups.

Results

After propensity score matching, 35 patients in the robotic group and 33 in the open surgery group were included, with balanced baseline characteristics. The robotic group demonstrated significantly shorter operative time compared to the open surgery group (165.00 min vs. 190.00 min; Z=-2.33, P=0.020),along with reduced blood loss (50.00 ml vs. 200.00 ml; Z=-5.78, P<0.001), shorter drainage tube retention (5.00 days vs. 8.00 days; Z=-4.40, P<0.001),and decreased postoperative hospitalization duration (7.00 days vs. 11.00 days; Z=-4.75, P<0.001). However, no significant differences were observed between groups regarding Number of Pringlemaneuvers(P=0.603) or duration (P=0.519).Postoperative complication characteristics, rates showed no statistical discrepancy (χ2=1.010,P=0.663).Pathological includ-ing tumor multiplicity, differentiation grade, vascular invasion, satellite nodules, neural invasion,and microvascular invasion, were comparable between groups (all P>0.05).LND outcomes also revealed equivalence, with similar total harvested lymph nodes (4.00 vs. 5.00; Z=-1.19, P=0.236) and positive lymph node counts (1.00 vs. 1.00; Z=-0.89, P=0.375).

Conclusions

Robotic lymphadenectomy demonstrates non-inferior efficacy to open surgery with reduced intraoperative trauma.

Objective

To explore the causes of falciform ligament cyst and the advantages of laparoscopy in the management of abdominal complications after ventriculoperitoneal shunt in infantile hydrocephalus.

Methods

A retrospective analysis and literature review were conducted on the clinical data of four infantile hydrocephalus cases who developed falciform ligament cysts following ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery at Capital Center for Children's Health, Capital Medical University between Sep. 2017 and Sep. 2022.

Results

After confirming the abdominal complications by ultrasound and CT, the fascia of the falciform ligament was dissected and cerebrospinal fluid was removed. Afterwards, the distal catheter was placed into the peritoneal cavity to keep it unobstructed. Postoperatively, all four infantile patients showed significant clinical improvement, with a noticeable reduction in lateral ventricular size compared to preoperative measurement.

Conclusion

The development of falciform ligament cyst is not only related to the physiological and anatomical characteristics of infants, but also to the abdominal incision of distal catheter placement. Laparoscopy is able to safely and effectively diagnose and treat abdominal complications.
