Minimally invasive surgery for post cholecystectomy biliary stricture: current evidence and future perspectives

Table 2 Studies on robotic repair of postcholecystectomy biliary stricture

Ref.	Year	Patients	Strasberg injury type	Method of reconstruction	Operative time (min)	Blood loss (mL)	Overall morbidity	Length of stay (d)	Specific complications	Follow up
Giulianotti et al[11]	2018	14	E1-E5	HJ-12 patients, Kasai procedure-2 patients	280.6	135	28.6%	8.4	Bile leak-two patients and 1 patient required pigtail catheter insertion. Subhepatic abscess-one patient	36.1 mo, 2 patients had mild HJ stenosis and cholangitis. Managed by PTBD and multiple transhepatic dilatations
Marino et al[12]	2019	12	E1-E4	HJ	260	252	16.7%	9.4	1 patient developed subhepatic abscess and required pigtail catheter insertion	12 mo–1 patient had anastomotic stenosis and revision robotic HJ was done
Sucandyet al[13]	2021	8		HJ	259	50	14%	8	None	22 mo–1 patient had anastomotic stenosis at 10 mo and required transhepatic dilatation

HJ: Hepaticojejunostomy; PTBD: Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage.
