“…For this reason, a systematic approach can be adopted that allows nurses to be prepared for robotic device errors and avoid consequences that may potentially harm the patient . In one study, it was stated that patient safety can be improved by instituting training programs for thoracic robotic surgery nurses . In the current study, it was found that nurses had insufficient information about their expected roles and that this caused stress in nurses during surgery.…”

Background This study aimed to reveal the experiences of nurses in robotic surgery and their adaptation to this method. Methods This research was planned within the framework of qualitative research methods. The study population consisted of robotic surgery nurses in Turkey. Focus group interviews were conducted after the flow process was developed, and the interviews were supported using a semistructured interview form. Two focus interviews were conducted with 15 participants. Results As a result of the content analysis, 11 themes were created in four categories. The categories of the study were designed as follows: (1) Training in Robotic Surgery Nursing, (2) Adaptation to Technology in Robotic Surgery Nursing, (3) Changing Roles and Adaptation Process in Robotic Surgery Nursing, and (4) Future of Robotic Surgery. Conclusions The lack of clarity regarding the roles and responsibilities of robotic surgery nurses and the lack of arrangements for working conditions are thought to cause professional dissatisfaction and disengagement from work.

“…the operating room, to perform the conduction process of the robot safely, knowing the function of each item, to calibrate the CO 2 insufflator in the correct pressure (21 ; to ensure the filling on the pressure points, to confirm that all the connected parts of the robot are sufficiently secured before surgery (13) ; to fit the robotic arms, understand the anatomical relations, memorize the steps of the operation (22) . Another aspect that addresses patient safety and nursing care is surgical positioning, and the authors show the importance in correctly positioning the patient (13,18,(21)(22) . A clean assessment of anatomy, guidelines, benchmarks and anatomical variations is imperative to work in synergy with the surgeon of the console and avoid positioning injury in the patient (22) .…”

Objective:To know the scientific production on the performance of the nursing staff in robotic surgeries, identifying the role of the nurse in the three perioperative periods. selected articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: Most articles were published in foreign journals in English, nine in the United States, classified with evidence level of 4 and 5. The role of nursing in the perioperative period was identified, related mainly to patient safety. The most mentioned perioperative period in the articles was the intraoperative, with greater concern in the positioning of the patient. Conclusion: The nursing performance and patient safety in robotic surgeries are similar to the ones in major surgeries, requiring from the patient a specific knowledge on the setting and preparation of the robot.
