Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Surgical Technology
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Robotic surgery adoption presents training challenges for surgeons.
  • Academic institutions face hurdles in integrating new surgical technologies.
  • Effective training models are crucial for safe robotic surgery implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of initiating a robotic general surgery program.
  • To assess the impact of integrating surgical trainees into robotic procedures.
  • To compare robotic-assisted cholecystectomy (RAC) with standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SLC) during program initiation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of the first 50 RAC procedures.
  • Comparison with 50 preceding standard laparoscopic cholecystectomies (SLC).
  • Analysis of operative time, conversions, length of stay, and postoperative complications.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in mean operative time between RAC and SLC (84.1 vs. 75.3 min).
  • Similar hospital length of stay, with most patients discharged same-day for both groups.
  • No postoperative complications reported in either the RAC or SLC groups.

Conclusions:

  • A robotic general surgery program can be safely initiated while concurrently training surgical residents.
  • Integrating trainees into robotic procedures is feasible without compromising patient safety or efficiency.
  • The study describes a successful training model for adopting advanced robotic surgical techniques.
