Pedagogic Approach in the Surgical Learning: The First Period of Assistant Surgeon May Improve the Learning Curve for Laparoscopic Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy

摘要

BackgroundHysterectomy is the most frequent surgery done with robotic assistance in the world and has been widely studied since its emergence. The surgical outcomes of the robotic hysterectomy are similar to those obtained with other minimally invasive hysterectomy techniques (laparoscopic and vaginal) and appear as a promising surgical technique in gynecology surgery. The aim of this study was to observe the learning curve of robot-assisted hysterectomy in a French surgical center, and was to evaluate the impact of the surgical mentoring.
