The impact of a dedicated operating room team on robotic transplant program growth and fellowship training.

Clinical transplantation
INTRODUCTION: Despite considerable interest in robotic surgery, successful incorporation of robotics into transplant programs has been challenging. Lack of a dedicated OR team with expertise in both robotics and transplant is felt to be a major barri...

First human surgery using a surgical assistance robotics device for laparoscopic cholecystectomies.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Over the past 20 years, surgeons involved in soft tissue minimally invasive surgery have experienced the pros and cons of both conventional and tele-robotic laparoscopic approaches. The Maestro System, developed by Moon Surgical (Paris, F...

National learning curves among robotic thoracic surgeons in the United States: Quantifying the impact of procedural experience on efficiency and productivity gains.

The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to characterize the aggregate learning curves of US surgeons for robotic thoracic procedures and to quantify the impact on productivity.

The learning curve on robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy performed by a single endocrine surgeon in a third-level institution in Europe: a cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis.

Updates in surgery
Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy is widely performed in Asian countries, although it is still under discussion in the Western World. However, there have been few studies reporting on the learning curve of robot-assisted transaxillary thyroi...

Urinary continence recovery after Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in relation to surgeon experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
Urinary incontinence is one of the main concerns for patients after radical prostatectomy. Differences in surgical experience among surgeons could partly explain the wide range of frequencies observed. Our aim was to evaluate the association between ...

Should Robot-Assisted Surgery Tolerate or Even Accommodate Less Surgical Dexterity?

AMA journal of ethics
Since their adoption during the 1990s, minimally invasive surgical techniques have demonstrated postoperative surgical recovery benefits for patients. As robotic surgery platforms continue to be developed and utilized in surgical specialty areas, dex...

How Should Surgeons Consider Emerging Innovations in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics?

AMA journal of ethics
Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted robotic surgery seems to offer promise for improving patients' outcomes and innovating surgical care. This commentary on a hypothetical case considers ethical questions that AI-facilitated surgical robotics pose ...

Should Organizational Investment in Robotic Surgical Technology Ever Influence Surgeons' Decisions About Surgical Approach to Patients' Surgical Care?

AMA journal of ethics
This commentary on a case considers balancing prospective benefits and harms of robotic technology use and argues that health care organizations should invest in centralizing robotic expertise in departments rather than having a mere collection of su...

Console and bedside surgeon fused robot-assisted thoracic surgery.

General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
In the last decade, even thoracic surgery has seen an increase in the use of robotic surgical systems, and robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is considered one of the main issues. While RATS is associated with solo manipulative freedom and high-d...
