Saturday Session 11 Liver

Exploring the future of robotic hepatobiliary and liver surgery, this session brings together five presentations covering some of the field’s most technically demanding procedures. Dr. Ankur Mandelia opens with a robotic hepatico-jejunostomy performed for a rare Type-VII choledochal cyst anomaly, followed by Dr. Sanjiv Haribhakti’s introduction of a hammock retractor designed to simplify access during upper GI surgery. Dr. Daniel Aliseda Jover then presents a totally robotic transplant procedure for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, a technically demanding application of robotics to transplant oncology. Prof. Kalayarasan Raja follows with a modified hepatectomy technique developed for advanced Type IV hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and Dr. Rajesh TK closes the session with a look at tools designed to enhance robotic precision across general surgical applications. Hepatobiliary surgeons, transplant surgeons, and surgical oncologists will find this session valuable for its breadth, spanning congenital anomaly repair, instrument innovation, transplant oncology, and advanced hepatectomy technique within a single, tightly connected discussion moderated by specialists actively practicing in this space.
