Multiservice laparoscopic surgical training using the daVinci surgical system - 25/08/11
Abstract |
Background |
The daVinci surgical system affords surgeons a magnified three-dimensional videoscopic view of the operative field and precise articulating laparoscopic instruments. The learning curve for this advanced surgical robotics system is poorly characterized.
Methods |
Twenty-three surgeons representing seven surgical subspecialties participated in a surgical robotics training program consisting of standardized daVinci system training (phase 1) followed by self-guided learning in a porcine model (phase 2).
Results |
The average number of recorded procedures performed per surgeon during phase 2 was 5.5. The mean daVinci system set-up time was 45 minutes and decreased by an average of 56.1% by the third successive set-up (r = −0.702, P <0.005). Operative times decreased 39.0% by the third successive practice operation (r = −0.860, P <0.0005).
Conclusions |
New use of the daVinci robot is associated with a rapid learning curve and preclinical animal model training is effective in developing surgical robotics skills.
