Introduction: The importance of patient perspectives is increasingly appreciated in clinical practice and academia with formal engagement processes developing worldwide. Digital surgery encompasses intraoperative patient data (including surgical video) analysis and so requires public-patient involvement (PPI).
Methods: Engagement events were conducted based on NIHR and GRIPP2 LF guidelines.
Aims: This review aims to evaluate the feasibility of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) as an alternative to standard laparoscopic surgery (SLS) for the treatment of bowel deep-infiltrative endometriosis. Additionally, it aims to provide guidance for future study design, by gaining insight into the current state of research, in accordance with the IDEAL framework.
Method: A systematic review was conducted to identify relevant studies on RALS for bowel deep infiltrating endometriosis in Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library and PubMed databases up to August 2023 and reported in keeping with PRISMA guidelines.
Background: Surgical errors are acts or omissions resulting in negative consequences and/or increased operating time. This study describes surgeon-reported errors in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods: Intraoperative videos were uploaded and annotated on Touch SurgeryTM Enterprise.
Background: This study quantifies the number of observations required to reliably assess the operative competence of Core Surgical Trainees (CSTs) in Ireland, using the Supervised Structured Assessment of Operative Performance (SSAOP) tool.
Methods: SSAOPs (April 2016-February 2021) were analysed across a mix of undifferentiated procedures, as well as for three commonly performed general surgery procedures in CST: appendicectomy, abdominal wall hernia repair, and skin/subcutaneous lesion excision. Generalizability and Decision studies determined the number of observations required to achieve dependability indices ≥0.
