Core Tip

Core tip: Our paper describes the key surgical points of gallbladder-preserving hepatectomy for treating S5 hepatoblastoma performed completely with the Da Vinci robotic system. A gallbladder-preserving hepatectomy was carried out for a boy at our hospital, and then systematic literature review was performed to discuss the significance and feasibility of preserving gallbladder during hepatectomy and the surgical safety and advantages, and compare the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted surgery and traditional laparoscopic surgery.
