Key result
Robotic-assisted surgery introduces communication barriers requiring enhanced team training and emergency protocols for OR safety.
Why the study?
Robotic-assisted surgical techniques require complex setup and isolate surgeons through the loss of normal operative visual and auditory cues, altering communication and workflow.
Robotic-assisted surgery requires specific interprofessional team training and emergency protocols to overcome unique physical and communication barriers and ensure patient safety.

Supports need for enhanced robotic OR training; leaves open optimal protocols and safety outcomes.
Robotic-assisted techniques in surgery require complex equipment setup and create surgeon isolation through loss of normal operative visual and auditory exchanges. These changes demand enhanced team communication and feedback in operating room settings so that robotic-assisted surgery does not compromise safe, efficient surgical care. Diverse simulation and training methods should be incorporated and studied based on local needs to determine how these techniques influence operating room communication, workflow, and safety culture.
