Objective:

To assess the three-level complexity classification as a tool for intra and postoperative outcomes in robotic liver resection (RLR) and evaluate its integration with machine learning algorithms.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • The three-level complexity classification system is useful for assessing surgical complexity in RLR.
    • AI integration with difficulty scores may enhance prediction of postoperative outcomes.
    Interpretation:

    The study presents a structured classification system and AI as tools for surgical decision-making in robotic liver surgery.

    Limitations:
    • Retrospective design may introduce selection bias.
    • Data collected from a single institutional database may limit generalizability.
    Conclusion:

    The study indicates that the three-level complexity classification and AI may assist in predicting outcomes and complications in robotic liver surgery.
