Robotic assistance improves intracorporeal suturing performance and safety in the operating room while decreasing operator workload
Surgical Endoscopy, 06/22/09
Stefanidis D et al. - Compared with standard laparoscopy, robotic assistance significantly improved intracorporeal suturing performance and safety of novices in the operating room while decreasing their workload. Moreover, the robot significantly shortened the learning curve of this difficult task. Further study is needed to assess the value of robotic assistance for experienced surgeons, and validated robotic training curricula need to be developed.
