Abstract:estimated on a per-use basis. This was compared to the purchasing price of Isiris.RESULTS: A total of 1775 cystoscopic procedures were performed, and the reusable cystoscope was used for stent removal in 871 cases. The per-use cost for stent removal procedures using the reusable cystoscope was estimated to be $161.85. The per-use purchasing price for the Isiris device is $200. After 704 stent pulls, micro-costing analysis appears to favor the reusable cystoscope compared to the disposable.CONCLUSIONS: Based on… Show more
“…Some work seems to be on-going in building interaction taxonomies to assist with communication training in RAS, especially between surgeon and the BA. Bisantz et al's (2019) abstract on the analysis of videos of RARP surgery, for instance, concluded that communication is more situation-based than authoritybased. Schiff et al (2016), in gynaecological surgery, surveyed participants' opinion on the quality of communication against outcomes (operative time and blood loss) and found a significant positive correlation, whereupon the communication barriers were more acutely perceived by the operating surgeon and could significantly lead to worse outcomes.…”
Introduction: Robot-assisted surgery has grown exponentially since its inception and first approval in the United States in the year 2000. The surgeon operating with the assistance of the robot sits remotely to the patient and another practitioner assists at the bedside. The role of the bedside assistant and the training that is required to undertake this role are understudied topics. Aim: To explore the functions, training and professional development of the bedside assistant in robot-assisted surgery and propose the necessary foundations for the safe enactment of the role in the United Kingdom. Methods: Through critical interpretative synthesis, relevant literature was systematically searched and analysed to inform integration of evidence. Results: Seventy-three studies were retrieved from the literature, across several health care disciplines and surgical specialities. These were critically analysed to inform a theoretically sound account grounded on evidence. Conclusion: The role, functions and skills of the bedside assistant in robot-assisted surgery vary across contexts. These were analysed and critically synthetised to produce several keys to the success of bedside assistants in robot-assisted surgery in the context of the United Kingdom and of its national regulations.

Introduction The introduction of robotic surgery is a major advance for this decade. The implementation of this technology determines the future of this potential progress in Tunisian hospitals. The purpose of this study was to describe the attitudes towards the implementation of robotic surgery among the surgical team in the Tunisian public health institution. Materials and methods It was a quantitative descriptive study conducted in 2023 in the Tunisian public health institution. The study sample consisted of 46 professionals from the carcinology operating theatre. We used a valid and reliable questionnaire with satisfactory psychomotor characteristics. The original English version of the questionnaire was emailed to us by the corresponding author McBride KE with authorisation the measuring instrument. The interpretation of the results was based on the “Health Technology Acceptance Model”. Results More than half of our population had positive attitudes about the benefits of robotics in patient care: (78.3%) agreed that robotic surgery will improve the quality of surgical care and that after initial training robotic surgery will reduce operating time (76.1%). (97.8%) liked learning the new skills required to use the robot. Concerns were a little high. :(65.2%) of the respondents said that they were involved in the care and handling of the robot and its surgical equipment and that they had little opportunity to take part in the surgical programme. Our study identified key factors for the successful implementation of robotic surgery: communication (93.5%), responsibility (91.3%), and theoretical and practical training (87%). Conclusion Robotic surgery is a technology that is transforming the field of health, in the modernisation of health establishments.
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.
