dc.description.abstractRobotic-assisted surgery for the management of hepatic echinococcosis was introduced in 2016. The advantage it offers over laparoscopy is less rigidity with the use of the 360° rotation of the Endo-Wrist technology, thus allowing the preservation of the integrity of the liver tissue. Herein, we report the first successful robotic resection of the left lobe of the liver for hydatid disease in the Middle East. Our patient is a 71-year-old man found to have a large left hepatic lobe hydatid disease on CT scan. The hydatid liver disease was resected completely with an operation time of 130 min and minimal intraoperative blood loss. Patient did well postoperatively and was discharged home on day 2. Our experience shows that robotic surgery for hydatid disease of the liver can be safely performed, with an excellent outcome to the patient. It also provides unique technical advantages in the field of minimal-invasive surgery. ©
