# Single-port robot-assisted hepatectomy of segments S4b and S5v: A case report

## TL;DR

A 63-year-old man with liver cancer successfully had a minimally invasive robotic surgery to remove specific liver segments after initial treatments.

## Contribution

Demonstrates the feasibility of single-port robotic hepatectomy for specific liver segments.

## Key findings

- The patient had a 4 cm incision and 200 mL blood loss during the robotic surgery.
- He recovered well and was discharged on postoperative day 7.
- The procedure used the SHURUI single-port robotic system for segments S4b and S5v.

## Abstract

We report a 63-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma who initially underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and two cycles of targeted therapy combined with immunotherapy, which achieved a partial response. He then successfully underwent single-port robot-assisted resection of liver segments S4b and S5v using the SHURUI single-port robotic system. The surgical incision measured 4 cm, intraoperative blood loss was 200 mL, and the operation time was 240 minutes. He recovered well and was discharged on postoperative day 7.
