Complex robotic colorectal surgery can be performed early in the experience, with reduced operative time. Overall complications are reduced after 15 robotic cases. This study shows that improvement in robotic surgery operating time and surgical outcomes occur along with application of the technology to more difficult cases, not as a function of choosing less complex cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
