Core Tip	Robotic liver resection (RLR) for colorectal metastases offers clear advantages over laparoscopic and open approaches. This review, integrating robust comparative and non-comparative evidence, reveals RLR’s significantly lower conversion rates and reduced blood loss, while maintaining comparable short-term safety and oncologic outcomes. It highlights RLR’s technical feasibility in complex cases. While longer operative times and limited long-term data for major resections warrant further research, this comprehensive analysis positions RLR as a safe, feasible, and technically superior alternative, advancing precision in surgical oncology.
