Robotic approach as a valid strategy to improve the access to posterosuperior hepatic segments-Case series and review of literature.

Robotic hepatectomy seems to be a useful and valid strategy to resect lesions on PS hepatic segments simplifying liver-sparing hepatectomies. Even though the operative time is still high, the short length of stay, low number of complications and the low need for blood transfusions seems to surpass the intrinsic cost of robotic surgery.
