Stepwise implementation of robotics and a certified enhanced recovery program significantly improves multiple outcome metrics in a liver surgery unit
Implementing MIS/RAS and ERAS® in an established hepatobiliary unit significantly improves blood-loss, (ICU-)LOS, morbidity, and PHLF. This ultimately leads to substantially increased TOLS rates in common oncological indications.
