Resezioni Epatiche Robotiche
L’esecuzione di una resezione del fegato per via mini-invasiva con tecnica robotica è oggi la maniera più avanzata per la conduzione di questo difficile intervento.
Nel 1997 Himpens ha pubblicato la prima applicazione clinica di telerobotica condotta con successo. Il gruppo aveva eseguito una colecistectomia laparoscopica usando un prototipo del robot “da Vinci”
Questo sistema consentiva al chirurgo, fra l’altro, di rimanere seduto per interventi che duravano parecchio tempo, consentiva una visione del campo chirurgico in tre dimensioni, una correlazione con le immagini prodotte dalla radiologia pre-operatoria in tempo reale e la possibilità di eseguire suture in maniera assai semplice.
Da allora, molte procedure chirurgiche sono state eseguite usando robot chirurgici, fra cui la colecistectomia, la fundoplicatio secondo Nissen, la miotomia secondo Heller, il by-pass gastrico alla Roux e infine interventi maggiori di chirurgia colorettale.
I vantaggi dei movimenti consentiti dagli strumenti del robot chirurgico, che simulano quelli del polso del braccio dell’uomo

Anche se la chirurgia laparoscopica già si associava con i benefici dell’approccio mini-invasivo, la laparoscopia pura resta tutt’oggi gravata da
- un limitato grado di manipolazione con gli strumenti,
- dall’effetto fulcro all’ingresso dei trocar,
- dall’amplificazione del tremore delle mani,
- dalla scarsa ergonomia e
- dalla limitata visualizzazione bidimensionale.
Il sistema chirurgico robotizzato fornisce soluzioni a queste limitazioni.
Fra tutte, la più importante è la tecnologia EndoWrist dei suoi strumenti, che offre al chirurgo 7 gradi di libertà, permettendo
- di eseguire suture in maniera assai semplice anche in spazi difficili da raggiungere,
- di filtrare il tremore delle mani,
- di avere una visualizzazione ottica del campo operatorio in tridimensionale ed
- una eccellente ergonomia.
Nel campo della chirurgia del fegato e delle vie biliari, è stato inizialmente descritto l’uso del sistema chirurgico robotico durante resezioni epatiche solo per l’isolamento degli elementi del peduncolo e per l’inizio della resezione epatica vera e propria.
Da allora, sono state pubblicate diverse casistiche di singoli centri che hanno riportato la fattibilità della procedura, la sua sicurezza, il basso tasso di “conversione” a procedura ad addome aperto, ridotte perdite ematiche e un tasso di complicanze post-operatorie assai contenuto.
La prima serie italiana, e forse mondiale, di resezioni epatiche robotiche è stata eseguita da Giulianotti, all’ospedale di Grosseto ed è iniziata nel marzo del 2002.

Il posizionamento del Robot chirurgico “da Vinci” durante un intervento di chirurgia addominale
Schema dall’alto del posizionamento della consolle del robot e del paziente durante un intervento robotico

Durante una resezione epatica eseguita con il robot (come per tutte le altre procedure eseguite con la tecnica robotica), il chirurgo siede alla consolle posta a distanza dal paziente e con le mani ed i piedi manovra i comandi, per muovere in maniera appropriata gli strumenti e per eseguire i movimenti previsti per l’esecuzione dell’intervento programmato.
Il robot chirurgico non sostituisce quindi il chirurgo nell’esecuzione dell’operazione.
E’ soltanto uno strumento nelle sue mani per effettuare l’intervento chirurgico stesso.
VANTAGGI DELLA CHIRURGIA EPATICA ROBOTICA
- L’ergonomia sfavorevole dei rigidi strumenti laparoscopici viene parzialmente superata dagli strumenti articolati del robot, che simulano i movimenti delle mani. Questo consente di raggiungere ed eseguire suture chirurgiche con angolature non permesse tecnicamente dalla rigidità della laparoscopia.
- Il tremore della mani è filtrato dagli strumenti robotici e consente quindi l’esecuzione di gesti più precisi.
- L’uso della consolle a distanza consente al chirurgo di operare seduto, in una posizione assai comoda.
- La visione in 3 dimensioni fa superare almeno parzialmente la mancanza del senso della profondità.
- Il chirurgo ha il completo controllo della telecamera, che è montata in una posizione stabile e non risente dei movimenti degli assistenti.
- I divaricatori laparoscopici sono anch’essi sotto il controllo del chirurgo.
- La curva di apprendimento per il chirurgo è più breve rispetto a quella della laparoscopia convenzionale.
- Il posizionamento dei trocar è più gestibile rispetto al fulcro provocato dalla laparoscopia.
- La tecnica ad addome aperto viene translata più facilmente nella tecnica robotica rispetto alla tecnica laparoscopica.
- E’ possibile utilizzare per l’apprendimento sistemi di addestramento computerizzato simili a quelli usati per la simulazione di volo degli aerei..
SVANTAGGI DELLA CHIRURGIA EPATICA ROBOTICA
- La generazione di robot che è entrata per prima sul mercato ha braccia molto larghe, che si aggiungono al volume della console nel computo dello spazio richiesto. Sono quindi necessarie sale operatorie grandi e vi è sempre il rischio che le braccia del robot entrino in conflitto fra di loro.
- E’ richiesto l’aiuto di un primo assistente che sia ben preparato nella procedura laparoscopica e nelle procedure di chirurgia del fegato.
- Non vi è la sensazione del tatto, che può portare a gesti inappropriati in particolare con strutture anatomiche fragili e compromettere l’esecuzione di suture con fili particolarmente delicati.
- Il cambiamento di campo operatorio con i robot di prima generazione richiede lo smontaggio ed il riposizionamento dello strumento, con inevitabile perdita di tempo.
- Non tutti i centri hanno a disposizione una sonda per l’ecografia intraoperatoria che possa essere gestita direttamente dal chirurgo dalla consolle.
- La velocità nella conversione a procedura ad addome aperto per l’insorgenza di complicanze intraoperatorie impreviste può essere rallentata a causa della distanza del chirurgo dal paziente e dalla necessità di smontare il robot.
- Gli interventi eseguiti con il robot occupano più tempo di sala operatoria a causa della messa a punto e del montaggio del robot stesso.
- Il robot è una macchina e può avere dei malfunzionamenti.
- Il robot costa molti soldi ed ha dei costi di gestione molto elevati.
La prima serie di resezioni epatiche robotiche condotte all’UOC di Chirurgia EpatoBilioPancreatica dell’IFO – Istituto Nazionale Tumori “Regina Elena” IRCCS, in Roma, è stata pubblicata nel 2020

abstract = {Background: The Brisbane 2000 Terminology for Liver Anatomy and Resections, based on Couinaud’s segments, did not address how to identify segmental borders and anatomic territories of less than one segment. Smaller anatomic resections including segmentectomies and subsegmentectomies, have not been well defined. The advent of minimally invasive liver resection has enhanced the possibilities of more precise resection due to a magnified view and reduced bleeding, and minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR) is becoming popular gradually. Therefore, there is a need for updating the Brisbane 2000 system, including anatomic segmentectomy or less. An online "Expert Consensus Meeting: Precision Anatomy for Minimally Invasive HBP Surgery (PAM-HBP Surgery Consensus)" was hosted on February 23, 2021. Methods: The Steering Committee invited 34 international experts from around the world. The Expert Committee (EC) selected 12 questions and two future research topics in the terminology session. The EC created seven tentative definitions and five recommendations based on the experts’ opinions and the literature review performed by the Research Committee. Two Delphi Rounds finalized those definitions and recommendations. Results: This paper presents seven definitions and five recommendations regarding anatomic segmentectomy or less. In addition, two future research topics are discussed. Conclusions: The PAM-HBP Surgery Consensus has presented the Tokyo 2020 Terminology for Liver Anatomy and Resections. The terminology has added definitions of liver anatomy and resections that were not defined in the Brisbane 2000 system. © 2021 Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery},

abstract = {OBJECTIVE: To establish consensus recommendations for the use of fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) in hepatobiliary surgery. BACKGROUND: ICG fluorescence imaging has gained popularity in hepatobiliary surgery in recent years. However, there is varied evidence on the use, dosage, and timing of administration of ICG in clinical practice. To standardize the use of this imaging modality in hepatobiliary surgery, a panel of pioneering experts from the Asia-Pacific region sought to establish a set of consensus recommendations by consolidating the available evidence and clinical experiences. METHODS: A total of 13 surgeons experienced in hepatobiliary surgery and/or minimally invasive surgery formed an expert consensus panel in Shanghai, China in October 2018. By the modified Delphi method, they presented the relevant evidence, discussed clinical experiences, and derived consensus statements on the use of ICG in hepatobiliary surgery. Each statement was discussed and modified until a unanimous consensus was achieved. RESULTS: A total of 7 recommendations for the clinical applications of ICG in hepatobiliary surgery were formulated. CONCLUSIONS: The Shanghai consensus recommendations offer practical tips and techniques to augment the safety and technical feasibility of ICG fluorescence-guided hepatobiliary surgery, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, liver segmentectomy, and liver transplantation.

abstract = {The positive relationship between volume and outcome in hepatobiliary surgery has been demonstrated for many years. As for other complex surgical procedures, both improved short- and long-term outcomes have been associated with a higher volume of procedures. However, whether the centralization of complex hepatobiliary procedures makes full sense because it should be associated with higher quality of care, as reported in the literature, precise criteria on what to centralize, where to centralize, and who should be entitled to perform complex procedures are still missing. Indeed, despite the generalized consensus on centralization in hepatobiliary surgery, this topic remains very complex because many determinants are involved in such a centralization process, of which some of them cannot be easily controlled. In the context of different health systems worldwide, such as national health systems and private insurance, there are different stakeholders that demand different needs: politicians, patients, surgeons, institutions and medical associations do not always have the same needs. Starting from a review of the literature on centralization in hepatobiliary surgery, we will propose some guidelines that, while not data-driven due to low evidence in the literature, will be based on good clinical practice.},

abstract = {Three-dimensional (3D) visualization involves feature extraction and 3D reconstruction of CT images using a computer processing technology. It is a tool for displaying, describing, and interpreting 3D anatomy and morphological features of organs, thus providing intuitive, stereoscopic, and accurate methods for clinical decision-making. It has played an increasingly significant role in the diagnosis and management of liver diseases. Over the last decade, it has been proven safe and effective to use 3D simulation software for pre-hepatectomy assessment, virtual hepatectomy, and measurement of liver volumes in blood flow areas of the portal vein; meanwhile, the use of 3D models in combination with hydrodynamic analysis has become a novel non-invasive method for diagnosis and detection of portal hypertension. We herein describe the progress of research on 3D visualization, its workflow, current situation, challenges, opportunities, and its capacity to improve clinical decision-making, emphasizing its utility for patients with liver diseases. Current advances in modern imaging technologies have promised a further increase in diagnostic efficacy of liver diseases. For example, complex internal anatomy of the liver and detailed morphological features of liver lesions can be reflected from CT-based 3D models. A meta-analysis reported that the application of 3D visualization technology in the diagnosis and management of primary hepatocellular carcinoma has significant or extremely significant differences over the control group in terms of intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, recovery of postoperative liver function, operation time, hospitalization time, and tumor recurrence on short-term follow-up. However, the acquisition of high-quality CT images and the use of these images for 3D visualization processing lack a unified standard, quality control system, and homogeneity, which might hinder the evaluation of application efficacy in different clinical centers, causing enormous inconvenience to clinical practice and scientific research. Therefore, rigorous operating guidelines and quality control systems need to be established for 3D visualization of liver to develop it to become a mature technology. Herein, we provide recommendations for the research on diagnosis and management of 3D visualization in liver diseases to meet this urgent need in this research field. © 2020, The Author(s).},

abstract = {Background: Despite the potentially severe impact of bile leakage on patients' perioperative and long-term outcome, a commonly used definition of this complication after hepatobiliary and pancreatic operations has not yet been established. The aim of the present article is to propose a uniform definition and severity grading of bile leakage after hepatobiliary and pancreatic operative therapy. Methods: An international study group of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeons was convened. A consensus definition of bile leakage after hepatobiliary and pancreatic operative therapy was developed based on the postoperative course of bilirubin concentrations in patients' serum and drain fluid. Results: After evaluation of the postoperative course of bilirubin levels in the drain fluid of patients who underwent hepatobiliary and pancreatic operations, bile leakage was defined as bilirubin concentration in the drain fluid at least 3 times the serum bilirubin concentration on or after postoperative day 3 or as the need for radiologic or operative intervention resulting from biliary collections or bile peritonitis. Using this criterion severity of bile leakage was classified according to its impact on patients' clinical management. Grade A bile leakage causes no change in patients' clinical management. A Grade B bile leakage requires active therapeutic intervention but is manageable without relaparotomy, whereas in Grade C, bile leakage relaparotomy is required. Conclusion: We propose a simple definition and severity grading of bile leakage after hepatobiliary and pancreatic operative therapy. The application of the present proposal will enable a standardized comparison of the results of different clinical trials and may facilitate an objective evaluation of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in the field of hepatobiliary and pancreatic operative therapy. © 2011 Mosby, Inc.},

abstract = {Background: Posthepatectomy liver failure is a feared complication after hepatic resection and a major cause of perioperative mortality. There is currently no standardized definition of posthepatectomy liver failure that allows valid comparison of results from different studies and institutions. The aim of the current article was to propose a definition and grading of severity of posthepatectomy liver failure. Methods: A literature search on posthepatectomy liver failure after hepatic resection was conducted. Based on the normal course of biochemical liver function tests after hepatic resection, a simple and easily applicable definition of posthepatectomy liver failure was developed by the International Study Group of Liver Surgery. Furthermore, a grading of severity is proposed based on the impact on patients' clinical management. Results: No uniform definition of posthepatectomy liver failure has been established in the literature addressing hepatic surgery. Considering the normal postoperative course of serum bilirubin concentration and International Normalized Ratio, we propose defining posthepatectomy liver failure as the impaired ability of the liver to maintain its synthetic, excretory, and detoxifying functions, which are characterized by an increased international normalized ratio and concomitant hyperbilirubinemia (according to the normal limits of the local laboratory) on or after postoperative day 5. The severity of posthepatectomy liver failure should be graded based on its impact on clinical management. Grade A posthepatectomy liver failure requires no change of the patient's clinical management. The clinical management of patients with grade B posthepatectomy liver failure deviates from the regular course but does not require invasive therapy. The need for invasive treatment defines grade C posthepatectomy liver failure. Conclusion: The current definition of posthepatectomy liver failure is simple and easily applicable in clinical routine. This definition can be used in future studies to allow objective and accurate comparisons of operative interventions in the field of hepatic surgery. © 2011 Mosby, Inc.},

abstract = {Background: A standardized definition of post-hepatectomy haemorrhage (PHH) has not yet been established. Methods: An international study group of hepatobiliary surgeons from high-volume centres was convened and a definition of PHH was developed together with a grading of severity considering the impact on patients' clinical management. Results: The definition of PHH varies strongly within the hepatic surgery literature. PHH is defined as a drop in haemoglobin level >3 g/dl post-operatively compared with the post-operative baseline level and/or any post-operative transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBC) for a falling haemoglobin and/or the need for radiological intervention (such as embolization) and/or re-laparotomy to stop bleeding. Evidence of intra-abdominal bleeding should be obtained by imaging or blood loss via the abdominal drains if present. Transfusion of up to two units of PRBC is considered as being Grade A PHH. Grade B PHH requires transfusion of more than two units of PRBC, whereas the need for invasive re-intervention such as embolization and/ or re-laparotomy defines Grade C PHH. Conclusion: The proposed definition and grading of severity of PHH enables valid comparisons of results from different studies. It is easily applicable in clinical routine and should be applied in future trials to standardize reporting of complications. © 2011 International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association.},

abstract = {The morphologic anatomy of the liver is described as 2 main and 2 accessory lobes. The more recent functional anatomy of the liver is based on the distribution of the portal pedicles and the location of the hepatic veins. The liver is divided into 4 sectors, some of them composed of 2 segments. In all, there are 8 segments. According to the anatomy, typical hepatectomies (or "réglées") are those which are performed along anatomical scissurae. The 2 main technical conceptions of typical hepatectomies are those with preliminary vascular control (Lortat-Jacob's technique) and hepatectomies with primary parenchymatous transection (Ton That Tung's technique). A good knowledge of the anatomy of the liver is a prerequisite for anatomical surgery of this organ. © 1982 Société Internationale de Chirurgie.},

abstract = {The robotic surgical system has been applied in liver surgery. However, controversies concerns exist regarding a variety of factors including the safety, feasibility, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of robotic surgery. To promote the development of robotic hepatectomy, this study aimed to evaluate the current status of robotic hepatectomy and provide sixty experts' consensus and recommendations to promote its development. Based on the World Health Organization Handbook for Guideline Development, a Consensus Steering Group and a Consensus Development Group were established to determine the topics, prepare evidence-based documents, and generate recommendations. The GRADE Grid method and Delphi vote were used to formulate the recommendations. A total of 22 topics were prepared analyzed and widely discussed during the 4 meetings. Based on the published articles and expert panel opinion, 7 recommendations were generated by the GRADE method using an evidence-based method, which focused on the safety, feasibility, indication, techniques and cost-effectiveness of hepatectomy. Given that the current evidences were low to very low as evaluated by the GRADE method, further randomized-controlled trials are needed in the future to validate these recommendations. © The Author(s) 2019.},
