[Robot-assisted Thoracic Surgery: Learning Curve and Cost Analysis in a German High-Volume Centre].

Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie
Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is a rapidly evolving surgical technique in Europe. The aim of the study was to analyse the learning curve and safety during the establishment of a RATS-program at a high-volume thoracic surgery centre and to qu...

A cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis studying operative times and complications for a surgeon transitioning from laparoscopic to robot-assisted pediatric pyeloplasty: Defining proficiency and competency.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION: The transition from laparoscopic to robot-assisted procedures leads to potential increase in operative times and health care costs. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis can objectively study the learning curve to detect significant changes i...

The Ability of Robot-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty in Matching the Efficiency of Its Conventional Counterpart at an Orthopaedic Specialty Hospital.

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) has become a popular technology. Studies have investigated the learning curve for surgeons incorporating RA-TKA into practice, but less is known regarding the change in operative efficiency ...

Learning curves for minimally invasive total mesorectal excision beyond the competency phase - a risk-adjusted cumulative sum analysis of 1000 rectal resections.

Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland
AIM: The learning curve of total mesorectal excision (TME) by minimally invasive surgery (MIS) beyond the competency phase has not been adequately reported with large numbers or using a statistical control limit. The aim of this work was to study the...

A Novel Expert Coaching Model in Urology, Aimed at Accelerating the Learning Curve in Robotic Prostatectomy.

Journal of surgical education
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: The surgical residency model assumes that upon completion, a surgeon is ready to practice and grow independently. However, many surgeons fail to improve after reaching proficiency, which in certain instances has correlated wi...

Free-hand, transrectal ultrasound-guided hydrodissection of the retroprostatic space during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: Impact on the learning curve.

Urologic oncology
BACKGROUND: Aim of the current study is to describe our technique of hydrodissection (HD) of the retroprostatic space (RPS) performed between the Denonvillier's fascia (DF) and prostatic capsule (PC) and to evaluate its impact on the outcomes of nerv...

The Surgical Learning Curve for Biochemical Recurrence After Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

European urology oncology
BACKGROUND: Improved cancer control with increasing surgical experience-the learning curve-was demonstrated for open and laparoscopic prostatectomy. In a prior single-center study, we found that this might not be the case for robot-assisted radical p...

Learning curve analysis of multiport robot-assisted hysterectomy.

Archives of gynecology and obstetrics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes and learning curve of multiport robot-assisted hysterectomy.

Learning curve for robotic assisted total knee arthroplasty: our experience with imageless hand-held Navio system.

Journal of robotic surgery
The main purpose of this study was to determine the learning curve of Robotic assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty surgery through assessment of operative time and comparison with that of conventional jig based Total Knee Arthroplasty. The study included...
