A recent study compared the cost-effectiveness of open, laparoscopic, and robotic liver resections. Results indicated that laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) incurs the lowest total costs, making it the most cost-effective option. Although robotic liver resection (RLR) is more expensive, it provides certain advantages in specific clinical scenarios, such as enhanced precision and reduced conversion rates. This comparative analysis aids in making informed decisions regarding the optimal surgical approach for liver resections based on cost and clinical outcomes.
