Standardizing surgical tasks and improving supply management significantly reduced robotic console time for robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RP) in pediatric urology. This efficiency gain can increase operating room capacity for critical procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Surgical Technology
  • Healthcare Operations

Background:

  • Robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RP) is a common, time-sensitive procedure in pediatric urology.
  • Delays in RP can lead to irreversible renal function loss.
  • Increasing operating room (OR) capacity is crucial for timely patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reduce operative time in robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RP) by optimizing workflow.
  • To provide value in patient care by decreasing total robotic console time.
  • To test the hypothesis that process improvement and supply management reduce RP operative time.

Main Methods:

  • Workflow analysis to identify and reduce OR inactivity during RP.
  • Standardized OR staff task lists and pre-procedure supply procurement.

  • Development of a clinical standard work (CSW) for RP, divided into 8 key steps.
  • Analysis of pre- and post-intervention console time and instrument inactivity.

    • Main Results:

    • Total console time decreased from 152 to 109 minutes (p=0.0002).
    • Dual instrument inactivity reduced from 13.1% to 7.1% (p<0.0001).
    • No significant difference in trainee operative time or patient age was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Standardizing intraoperative tasks and reducing surgical workflow lapses enhances efficiency.
    • Process improvements in RP can lead to more efficient case completion.
    • Increased efficiency has the potential to expand OR capacity for pediatric urology procedures.
