Initial experience shows that setting up and docking the da Vinci surgical system does not significantly prolong overall operating time.
This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
The data support the conclusion that both set-up and docking of the robot can be achieved in adequate times and have a low impact on overall operating time.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports feasibility of efficient robotic setup; leaves open generalizability beyond this initial cohort.
