ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic hepatectomy (RALH) versus open hepatectomy (OH) in the treatment of liver diseases. MethodsWeb of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and Wanfang Data were searched for Chinese and English articles on RALH versus OH in the treatment of liver diseases published up to February 2020. The quality of the articles included was assessed, and RevMan 5.1 was used to perform the meta-analysis. ResultsSeven studies were included, with a total of 754 patients (328 patients in the RALH group and 426 in the OH group). The meta-analysis showed that compared with the OH group, the RALH group had a significantly longer time of operation (mean difference [MD]=59.41, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.74-109.08, P=0.02), significantly higher blood transfusion rate (relative risk [RR]=2.24, 95%CI: 1.04-4.82, P=0.04) and rate of hepatic portal occlusion (RR=2.27, 95%CI: 1.37-3.75, P=0.001), a significantly shorter length of hospital stay (MD=-3.87, 95%CI: -5.63 to -2.12,P<0.001), and significantly lower overall incidence rate of postoperative complications (RR=0.58, 95%CI: 0.41-0.81, P=0.001) and incidence rates of major postoperative complications (RR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.22-0.91, P=0.03). There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionFor hepatectomy, RALF can shorten the length of hospital stay and reduce postoperative complications, creating conditions for minimally invasive hepatectomy and rapid recovery.
