Future Liver Remnant Augmentation Preceding Robotic Hepatectomy

Abstract

1. Abstract
1.1. Background: Incorporation of liver augmentation techniques prior to major hepatectomy allows opportunity for surgery in disease formerly considered unresectable. Additionally, as robotic surgery continues to gain momentum, studies have demonstrated outcome superiority with robotic major hepatectomies. We present our experience on the available spectrum of liver augmentation options prior to robotic major hepatectomy.
