Introduction of Robot-assisted Surgery for Benign Total Hysterectomy with Salpingectomy: Learning Curve, Safety and Experience in a Tertiary Surgical Center
The evaluation of the first 250 da Vinci surgeries demonstrates the easy learnability of robot-assisted surgery. The conversion rate was very low, coming in at just 0.8%. A positive effect on the learning curve of individual surgeons was found after about 20 procedures. Both the preparation times and the incision-to-suture times decreased rapidly, meaning that there were no problems integrating the new approach into routine clinical practice.
