AIM: Due to the COVID pandemic and technological innovation, robots gain increasing role in nursing services. While studies investigated negative attitudes of nurses towards robots, we lack an understanding of nurses' preferences about robot characte...
Since the transition of surgical robot systems into the medical field, physicians have had to develop new dexterity skills. The ideal learning environment for robotic surgery has yet to be discovered. Virtual reality (VR) simulation is a possible sa...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery is a method of minimally invasive surgery performed through small incisions using a remote robotic console. Surgical residents and attendings participate in simulation training to be able to effectively perform robotic s...
BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery is a valid option for minimally invasive surgery in most surgical specialties. However, the need to master laparoscopy is questionable before starting specific training in robotic surgery. We compared the development of ba...
Robotic-assisted colorectal surgery (RACS) is steadily increasing in popularity with an annual growth in the number of colorectal procedures undertaken robotically. Further upscaling of RACS requires structured and standardised robotic training to sa...
BACKGROUND: Given the challenges of teaching in robotic operating rooms, we sought to investigate the language of perceptual expertise used by robotic surgeons, in an effort to improve current approaches to robotic training.
BACKGROUND: Robotic technology affords surgeons many novel and useful features, but two stereotypes continue to prevail: robotic surgery is expensive and inefficient. To identify educational opportunities and improve operative efficiency, we analyzed...
Major vascular injury resulting in uncontrolled bleeding is a catastrophic and often fatal complication of minimally invasive surgery. At the outset of these events, surgeons do not know how much blood will be lost or whether they will successfully c...
The technology of artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant in-roads into the field of medicine over the last decade. With surgery being a discipline where repetition is the key to mastery, the scope of AI presents enormous potential for resi...
