HKHiroaki KomatsuTottori University of Environmental Studies IWIkumi WadaTottori University Hospital KYKoji YamamotoTottori University Hospital

Key Points

Proficiency in robotic hysterectomy was achieved within approximately 15 cases by robotics-naïve surgeons, ensuring safety.
Surgeons with prior robotic experience had a shorter learning curve compared to those without, enhancing efficiency.
Assistants quickly mastered docking procedures, demonstrating the effectiveness of the training process.
Findings support the safe implementation of robotic systems with well-structured training programs.

Abstract

In early Hugo RAS adoption, prior robotic experience led to a shorter learning curve, but robotics-naïve surgeons achieved proficiency within ~15 cases without compromising safety. Assistants also rapidly mastered docking. These findings support safe and efficient implementation of new robotic platforms with structured training.
