BACKGROUND: Some difficulties are common when using endoscopes. Steering is not intuitive, the endoscope weight is a physical burden to physicians and communication problems often occur between operators.
Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) relies heavily on the bedside assistant (BA). Currently, the relationship between BA experience and surgical outcomes in robotic surgery is not clear. We examined whether bedside assistant expe...
