    Main Methods:

    • Developed a human resources time and motion study tool.
    • Utilized the NASA Task Load Index to assess personnel workload.
    • Observed and analyzed 25 robotic surgery procedures.

    Main Results:

    • Time and motion study identified roles for nonlicensed support personnel.
    • NASA Task Load Index revealed high temporal, effort, and physical demands on staff.
    • Opportunities to improve OR efficiency and patient safety were identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating nonlicensed support personnel can enhance robotic surgery efficiency.
    • Addressing high workload demands is crucial for surgical team satisfaction.
    • This methodology can inform cost-effective staffing models for safe, efficient surgical care.
