Surgical laparoscopy, endoscopy & percutaneous techniques
Aug 1, 2015
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to analyze the learning curve for laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) in our series and review the literature on learning curves for LDP and robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP).
IMPORTANCE: Quality assessment is an important instrument to ensure optimal surgical outcomes, particularly during the adoption of new surgical technology. The use of the robotic platform for complex pancreatic resections, such as the pancreaticoduod...
OBJECTIVE: To examine the feasibility and outcomes of video-based peer feedback through social networking to facilitate robotic surgical skill acquisition.
OBJECTIVE: Endovascular robotics systems, now approved for clinical use in the United States and Europe, are seeing rapid growth in interest. Determining who has sufficient expertise for safe and effective clinical use remains elusive. Our aim was to...
