INTRODUCTION: Although robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has become a standard treatment modality in patients with prostate cancer (PCa), RARP is a complicated and difficult surgical procedure due to the risk of serious surgery-related comp...
Robotic colorectal surgery allows for better ergonomics, superior retraction, and fine movements in the narrow anatomy of the pelvis. Recent years have seen the uptake of robotic surgery in all pelvic surgeries specifically in low rectal malignancies...
Adoption of robotic-assisted surgery has steadily increased as it improves the surgeon's dexterity and visualization. Despite these advantages, the success of a robotic procedure is highly dependent on the availability of a proficient surgical assist...
INTRODUCTION: Gender bias has been identified consistently in written performance evaluations. Qualitative tools may provide a standardized way to evaluate surgical skill and minimize gender bias. We hypothesized that there is no difference in operat...
INTRODUCTION: Work related injuries in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) are common because of the strains placed on the surgeon's or assistant's body. The objective of this study was to compare specific ergonomic risks among surgeons and surgical tra...
