This study was undertaken to assess thrombocytopenia as an independent risk factor for undesirable perioperative outcomes after robotic hepatectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed 279 patients who underwent robotic hepatectomy at our institution. Patients were stratified into two cohorts based on preoperative platelet counts. Thrombocytopenia was classified as having a platelet count less than 150 \/\u03bcL.

Patients with thrombocytopenia had higher MELD scores [p = 0.02] and higher Child-Pugh Scores [p &lt;0.001]. Intraoperatively, patients with thrombocytopenia had shorter operative duration [p = 0.03] but similar estimated blood loss (EBL) [p = 0.78]. Postoperatively, there were more fresh frozen plasma transfusions in patients with thrombocytopenia [p = 0.04]. There were no differences in IWATE scores, tumor size, conversions to \u201copen\u201d operations, intraoperative complications, patient length of stay (LOS), Clavien-Dindo score \u2265 III complications, perioperative RBC transfusion, in-hospital mortality, or 30-day readmissions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In our propensity-score matched study, patients with thrombocytopenia had more severe liver disease; however, there were no differences in their EBL, LOS, or perioperative complications.
