#robotic surgery, #laparoscopic surgery, #hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, #liver donation, #minimally invasive surgery, #living donor liver transplantation, #surgical scar, #open surgery, #lack of energy, #lethargy, #persistent fatigue
Robotic surgery is a method in which the surgeon sits at a console (control device) and operates by controlling robotic arms. Using 10x magnified three-dimensional (3D) images and freely moving robotic arms, it can allow more precise manipulation than laparoscopic surgery. It is also used for liver, bile duct, and pancreatic surgery, and for liver donation surgery. Whether robotic surgery is suitable, and which method is used, depends on each patient's condition, so please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26
