Fellowship training in robotic surgery for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is safe and effective. Gradual introduction of robotic techniques optimizes learning and minimizes complications for surgical trainees.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Education
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Initial experience with 50 robot-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures informed curriculum development.
  • Fellowship training in robotic surgery was established.
  • Focus on training for minimally invasive bariatric procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a fellowship training curriculum for robotic surgery.
  • To assess the learning curve for robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
  • To determine if gradual introduction of robotic techniques impacts outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty consecutive robotic gastric bypasses performed using the Zeus system.
  • Gastrojejunostomy creation divided into three discrete tasks for training.

  • Trainee assigned cumulative robotic suturing tasks in ten-case increments.
  • Patient demographics: average age 44 years, BMI 47 kg/m², 87% female.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in task or total operative times as trainee participation increased.
    • No adverse robotic events or surgical complications observed.
    • Fellow's learning curve compared favorably to initial institutional experience.

    Conclusions:

    • Robotic surgery training can be safely integrated into minimally invasive surgery programs.
    • A phased introduction of robotic techniques enhances the learning experience.
    • Gradual implementation minimizes potential adverse outcomes in surgical training.
