Application of robotics in HPB surgery is rapidly increasing. The training pathway in robotic liver surgery has not been established with the majority of HPB fellows gaining a limited experience during their training. The complexity of liver resection adds an important dimension to safe training in liver surgery. In this video, we describe a surgical performance of an HPB fellow toward the completion of a 1-year fellowship. A robotic left lateral sectionectomy (LLS) was conducted in a 61 year old woman presenting with a 3.6 cm metastatic anal cancer in segment 2/3. The operation was uneventful with minimal blood loss. HPB fellow is proficient with robotic LLS within the followship training.
