Learning curves, safety, and experiences of a tertiary surgical center in the introduction of robotic-assisted surgery in gynecologic oncology
Upon evaluation of the first n = 107 DaVinci operations, rapid learnability of robotic-assisted operations was demonstrated. The conversion rate was low at 1.9%. A positive effect on the learning curve of individual surgeons was evident after approximately 20 procedures. Both the preparation time and the skin-to-skin time could be rapidly reduced, so that integration into routine clinical operations was possible without problems.
