“…Proper ports placement and surgeon experience could decrease the incidence of arm collision-related error. 14,15 In our series, only one error (battery loss) resulted in delayed surgery. Surgical delay related to robotic failure has been examined by several other studies.…”

Introduction: The goal of the study is to evaluate and report on the third-generation da Vinci surgical (Si) system malfunctions. Methods: A total of 1228 robotic surgeries were performed between January 2012 and December 2015 at our academic centre. All cases were performed by using a single, dual console, four-arm, da Vinci Si robot system. The three specialties included urology, gynecology, and thoracic surgery. Studied outcomes included the robotic surgical error types, immediate consequences, and operative side effects. Error rate trend with time was also examined.

“…Other groups are working on the development of different VR simulators for robotic surgery and reported about their The Scientific World Journal prototypes [24,25]. There is one laparoscopic simulator which can be converted into a robotic simulator and can train basic robotic skills [26]; however, van der Meijden et al were not able to establish construct validity for this simulator and improvement is necessary before using it in robotic training programs [27].…”

Objective. With the increase in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery there is a concomitant rising demand for training methods. The objective was to establish face and construct validity of a novel virtual reality simulator (dV-Trainer, Mimic Technologies, Seattle, WA) for the use in training of robot-assisted surgery. Methods. A comparative cohort study was performed. Participants (n = 42) were divided into three groups according to their robotic experience. To determine construct validity, participants performed three different exercises twice. Performance parameters were measured. To determine face validity, participants filled in a questionnaire after completion of the exercises. Results. Experts outperformed novices in most of the measured parameters. The most discriminative parameters were "time to complete" and "economy of motion" (P < 0.001). The training capacity of the simulator was rated 4.6 ± 0.5 SD on a 5-point Likert scale. The realism of the simulator in general, visual graphics, movements of instruments, interaction with objects, and the depth perception were all rated as being realistic. The simulator is considered to be a very useful training tool for residents and medical specialist starting with robotic surgery. Conclusions. Face and construct validity for the dV-Trainer could be established. The virtual reality simulator is a useful tool for training robotic surgery.

“…The simulator reproduces the behaviour of the da Vinci system by implementing its kinematics and thus providing a promising tool for training and a way to plan operations. 164 Students of today easily and readily adopt virtual reality as part of their regular training program. 165 The new generation of medical students has grown up in the age of computer technology and it has been shown that prior videogame experience can shorten the time to learn basic skills in virtual reality simulation for minimal invasive surgery, 166 except for robotic suturing, where prior videogame experience had a negative impact on robotic performance.…”

Over the past decade, there has been an exponential growth of robot-assisted procedures and of publications concerning roboticassisted laparoscopic surgery. From a review of the available literature, it becomes apparent that this technology is safe and allows more complex procedures in many fields of surgery, be it at relatively high costs. Although randomised controlled trials in gynaecology are lacking, available evidence suggests that particularly in gynaecology robotic surgery might not only reduce morbidity but also be cost effective if performed in high-volume centres. Training in robotic surgery and programs for safe and effective implementation are necessary.
