INTRODUCTION: Trainees underestimate the amount of operative autonomy they receive, whereas faculty overestimate; this has not been studied in robotics. We aimed to assess the perceptions and expectations of our general surgery trainees and faculty o...
The cumulative sum (CUSUM) approach has been adopted to evaluate surgical competence in various contexts. The CUSUM method comprises sequential monitoring of cumulative differences from a target level in performance quality over time, allowing the d...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the results of the quality assessment and the learning curve of robot-assisted minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy (RAMIE-MK).
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has become widely accepted, but its different underlying types of learning curves have not been comparatively analyzed to date. This study aimed to determine and compare the impact that the learni...
BACKGROUND: Current evaluation methods for robotic-assisted surgery (ARCS or GEARS) are limited to 5-point Likert scales which are inherently time-consuming and require a degree of subjective scoring. In this study, we demonstrate a method to break d...
BACKGROUND: Little data are available to assess the learning curve for robot-assisted surgery on choledochal cysts. The aim of this current study is to investigate the characteristics of the learning curve for robot-assisted choledochal cyst excision...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: EUS is considered one of the most sensitive modalities for pancreatic cancer detection, but it is highly operator-dependent and the learning curve is steep. In this study, we constructed a system named BP MASTER (pancreaticobilia...
