Learning curve analysis for prophylactic bilateral robot-assisted lateral lymph node dissection for lower rectal cancer: a retrospective study
The three phases identified by CUSUM analysis represented characteristics of the learning curve for prophylactic bilateral RA-LLND. These data suggest that 20 cases are required for the early stage of the learning curve, whereas mastery level could be achieved after 36 cases.
