A swine model for surgical training in various types of robotic liver resection with surgical videos.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRobotic liver resection (RLR) presents technical challenges due to the lack of standardized procedures and limited opportunities for hands-on training. To overcome these limitations, we developed a swine model designed to facilitate stepwise education across various RLR techniques. This model was supplemented with surgical videos to provide detailed procedural guidance.
methodsA standardized single-day curriculum was implemented using a swine model to simulate key components of RLR. Training included non-anatomical and anatomical resections using the extrahepatic Glissonean approach, parenchymal transection guided by indocyanine green fluorescence or ischemic demarcation, and advanced procedures such as hilar dissection, biliary reconstruction, and portal vein anastomosis. All procedures were recorded and edited into instructional videos. Multiple workshops were conducted through the Korean Association of Liver Surgery.
resultsThe swine model reliably reproduced key robotic liver surgery techniques, providing realistic tissue handling, stable operative exposure, and effective practice of parenchymal transection using both harmonic and bipolar energy devices. The accompanying educational videos highlighted key procedural steps and enhanced conceptual understanding. Survey responses from participating surgeons demonstrated improved technical confidence, better understanding of robotic liver anatomy and transection techniques, and increased clinical adoption of RLR.
conclusionsThis swine-based educational model provides a practical, high-fidelity, and reproducible environment for structured RLR training. When integrated with instructional surgical videos, it offers a comprehensive educational tool that supports early-career surgeons in achieving proficiency in robotic liver surgery.
