Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has gained popularity, which has contributed to a decrease in the number of open procedures. Hence a growing concern regarding the ability of laparoscopically trained surgeons to perform open surgery (e.g. due to bleeding complications) has been raised. The aim of the study was to investigate the ability of conversion to open surgery following exclusively robotic or laparoscopic training.
