King Faisal Hospital's Robotic Liver Resection First

King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre has achieved a global first by performing a series of single-port robotic liver resections from living donors. This innovative surgical technique involves a single incision of no more than 3.5 cm, significantly reducing surgical pain and accelerating recovery for donors compared to conventional multi-incision robotic surgery. The procedures, performed on six donors, resulted in minimal blood loss, no complications, and quick discharge. This advancement is particularly beneficial for donor safety and is expected to improve outcomes for pediatric liver transplant recipients. The achievement reinforces King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre's position as a leader in robotic surgery and organ transplantation, aligning with Saudi Arabia's Health Sector Transformation Program.
