Adoption of Robotic Adrenalectomy: A Two-Institution Study of Surgeon Learning Curve.

Journal: Annals of surgical oncology

Published Date: Apr 11, 2023

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robotic adrenalectomy is feasible and safe, yet concerns over increased operative times and the learning curve (LC) for proficiency have limited its adoption. This study aimed to assess the LC for robotic adrenalectomy.
