Abstract

Background

Safety of liver resection for colorectal adenocarcinoma continues to improve due to decreased morbidity of resection. Minimally invasive techniques contribute greatly to this morbidity reduction. Isolated caudate lobectomy presents a unique technical challenge because of proximity to major vasculature. The video aims to review nuances of robotic isolated caudate lobectomy for metastatic colon adenocarcinoma.
