This study details the initial robotic surgery program at a Mexico City private hospital, analyzing the first 500 procedures. Establishing a robotic surgery committee is key to reducing complications and improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Robotic surgery represents a significant technological advancement adopted across various surgical specialties globally.
  • Comparative studies with traditional open and laparoscopic surgery have supported its integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document the initial experience of a robotic surgery program at a private hospital in Mexico City.
  • To analyze the outcomes and complications associated with the program's early phase.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the first 500 robotic surgeries performed over three years (January 2017 - December 2019).
  • Data collected included involved specialties, surgery types, surgical times, complications, and surgeon demographics.
  • Procedures were performed by 40 certified surgeons across five specialties.

Main Results:

  • The cohort comprised 500 patients (73.4% male, 26.4% female) with an average age of 58.
  • Most common procedures were radical prostatectomy (269), hysterectomy (64), and inguinal repair (33).

Conclusions:

  • Implementing a robotic surgery program in a private setting requires careful planning and oversight.
  • Formation of a dedicated robotic surgery committee is crucial for establishing accreditation guidelines and fostering a center of excellence.
  • Such a committee can enhance surgeon certification and recertification, ultimately reducing complications and improving surgical results.
