Brief summary

Robotic training program for unexperienced novice surgeons

Detailed description

The curricular structure of RoCS bases on five modules: multimodular didactics, standardization, training structure, interdisciplinary workplace and evaluation. The aim is to ensure a basic competence of robotic surgcial skills for unexperienced novice surgeons (residents).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
perioperative morbidity5 yearscomplications classified by Clavien-Dindo
patient mortality rate5 yearsduring in-hospital stay, 30 and 90 days postoperatively
intraoperative workload5 yearsThe questionnaire NASA Task Load Index consists of 6 quesions addressing the individual overall workload. The question of level of procedure's difficulty is used to analyse the overall workload additionally referring to Lowndes BR, Forsyth KL, Blocker RC, Dean PG, Truty MJ, Heller SF, Blackmon S, Hallbeck MS, Nelson H. NASA-TLX Assessment of Surgeon Workload Variation Across Specialties. Ann Surg. 2020 Apr;271(4):686-692. doi: 10.1097/SLA.0000000000003058. PMID: 30247331.
basic robotic competence5 yearsEvaluation of the intraoperative performance of residents and specialists by the robotic expert using O-SCORE referring to doi:10.1097/ACM.0b013e3182677805. PMID: 22914526

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
patient characteristics5 yearsage, sex, BMI, preexisting illnesses and diseases
robotic bedside assistance5 yearsanalysis of duration of port placement and docking in minutes
patient laboratory parameters5 yearspre- and postoperatively: concentration of hemoglobin and tsh, crp value, estimated glomerular filtration rate, concentration of albumin, prothrombin time
surgical expertise5 yearsanalysis of experience for open, laparoscopic and robotic procedures by counting numbers of procedures and surgical practice in years
practical resident training5 yearspercentage of intraoperative procedural steps performed by the assisting surgeon
