Abstract
Background
Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) is a challenging malignancy with a poor prognosis, and the role of robotic surgery in its management remains debated. This systematic review aims to assess the feasibility of robotic surgery for PHC.
Methods
A systematic literature search was conducted following PRISMA guidelines in Medline, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for English-language studies on robotic surgery for PHC between 2000 and 2024.
Results
Of the initial 405 manuscripts identified, five studies comprising 110 patients met the inclusion criteria. Pooled analysis showed that operative time ranged from 276 (170–500) to 840 (770–890) minutes, with intraoperative blood loss between 125 (50–425) and 700 (600–800) ml. The rates of overall and major morbidity were 50.0% and 13.6%, respectively. The 30-day and 90-day postoperative mortality rates were 1.8% and 1.9%, respectively. R0 resections were achieved in 78.2% of patients, with a median lymph node retrieval of 7 (8 ± 6.6) to 11 (6–31). Follow-up duration ranged from 7.5 (8.3 ± 2.3) to 15 (19 ± 16) months, recurrence was observed in 14.3% (6/42) of patients.
Conclusions
Robotic surgery for PHC demonstrates promising perioperative outcomes; however, further studies are needed to assess its long-term oncological efficacy compared with traditional approaches.
