Abstract

Robotic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible approach and can be combined with common bile duct exploration to address complicated pathology in a single setting. This article summarizes reported outcomes after robotic biliary surgery. A technical overview of robotic multiport and single port cholecystectomy is provided. Last, the approach to benign bile duct disease during robotic cholecystectomy, including reconstruction of the biliary tree, is described.

Keywords: Gallbladder; Infrared-ICG cholangiography; Robotic cholecystectomy; Robotic common bile duct exploration; Robotic hepaticojejunostomy.
