Key result
The probability of success for surgeons without prior robotic surgery experience performing total thyroidectomy with modified radical neck dissection was 0.10.
Why the study?
This study seeks to identify potential health and economic problems and risks related to da Vinci robotic surgical systems specifically used for thyroidectomy surgery.
Surgeons without prior robotic surgery experience have a low probability of success (0.10), highlighting the critical need for proper training before handling advanced medical equipment.
Highlights potential health and economic risks of robotic thyroidectomy; leaves open the need for rigorous prospective.
In moving towards Industrial Revolution 4.0, healthcare and medicine are one of the biggest areas of concern which is beneficial to maintaining healthy living. This study seeks to identify the potential problems and risks related to high-technology medical approaches, namely the da Vinci robotic surgical systems, specifically used for thyroidectomy surgery. In particular, the risks embedded in robotic surgeries in terms of health and economy are investigated. Furthermore, a probabilistic risk analysis was conducted to assess the risk among surgeons of the da Vinci robotic surgery using event tree analysis and Bayesian network. This research revealed that the probability of success for surgeons without prior robotic surgery experience was 0.10. It highlights the importance of proper training for medical practitioners in handling advanced medical equipment by considering the related risk involved in patients.

Roslan et al. (2022) studied Thyroid disease (n=125). Robotic thyroidectomy by surgeon without prior robotic experience was evaluated on Probability of success for Total Thyroidectomy + MRND. The probability of success for surgeons without prior robotic surgery experience performing total thyroidectomy with modified radical neck dissection was 0.10.
