Robotic liver resection in Denmark: Report of the first 50 cases at Rigshospitalet Copenhagen

While most centers around the globe still consider open hepatic resection as the standard, innovative centers step in light of future developments of the robotic platform forward and introduce a robotic liver program while skipping the laparoscopic approach for its technological flaws. This applies also for our Department of Surgery and Transplantation at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark. We herewith present as—to our best knowledge—the first center in Scandinavia our experience with the initial 50 robotic liver resections.
