Implementation of Surgery Clinical Pathway for Training in Urologic Robotic Surgery: Preliminary Experience with the Radical Prostatectomy in Central America
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor in our country [1]. Radical surgery is used for the management of localized disease. Consistent results globally confirm the safety, reproducibility and effectiveness of roboticsurgery [2-4]. Robotic surgery for urologic disease is becoming increasingly widespread [5-6]. However, there is a known learning curve for this technology that can inhibit its adoption; this concern may be particularly important in an international, non-academic setting [7]. Our institution introduced the first robotic system in our geographic region (Central America). We reviewed our experience in implementing a training pathway for robotic urologic surgery, especially with radical prostatectomy. Methods

متن کاملPast, present and future of urological robotic surgery
The first urologic robotic program in the world was built at the Vattikuti Urology Institute, Henry Ford Hospital Detroit, Michigan, in 2000 under the vision of surgical innovator, Dr. Mani Menon for the radical prostatectomy. The robot-assisted radical prostatectomy continues being modified with techniques to improve perioperative and surgical outcomes. The application of robotic surgical tech...
متن کاملYonsei Experience in Robotic Urologic Surgery - Application in Various Urological Procedures
PURPOSE The da Vinci robot system has been used to perform complex reconstructive procedures in a minimally invasive fashion. Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy has recently established as one of the standard cares. Based on experience with the robotic prostatectomy, its use is naturally expanding into other urologic surgeries. We examine our practical pattern and application of ...
متن کاملTransition from open to robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy: 7 years experience at Hackensack University Medical Center
Background and objective Open radical prostatectomy (ORP) is the standard approach for the surgical management of localized prostate cancer. The steep learning curve for laparoscopic prostatectomy poses a challenge for surgeons with minimal laparoscopic experience. As robotic-assisted surgery becomes more prevalent in the urologic community, there appears to be an increasing interest in robotic...
متن کاملUrologic robotic surgery in Korea: Past and present
Since 2005 when the da Vinci surgical system was approved as a medical device by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare, 51 systems have been installed in 40 institutions as of May 2015. Although robotic surgery is not covered by the national health insurance service in Korea, it has been used in several urologic fields as a less invasive surgery. Since the first robotic-assisted laparoscopi...
