This week, I watched a liver cyst resection and a liver biopsy robot-assisted surgery. I learned that some of the complications using robot-assisted surgery are the angles by which the arms move/rotate in vivo and limitations by camera angle/direction of the probe. I realized that, while the use of multiple ports allows for more mobility of the tools, it can require some time to figure out what the best orientation is for each surgical function. I also went to Dr. Samstein's clinic on Thursday where I saw patients with cirrhotic livers and varying stages of liver disease. I have been continuing my review on normothermic machine perfusion of livers through reading current articles on immune cell sequencing and metabolic readouts at the cellular level. In the next coming weeks, I hope to make more progress on logistical side for project approval.
