Robotic liver surgery: enhancing immune competence and minimizing postsurgical inflammation
These findings suggest that RLR preserves immune competence more effectively than OLR in the peri- and late postoperative course. The reduced systemic and local inflammatory response may be the result of less tissue damage with reduced cytokine release, highlighting the value of less traumatic surgery applied by robotic systems during clinical practice.
