Article Synopsis
- Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) is becoming more popular, and training for this type of surgery is being added to medical education programs.
- The study looks at whether skills learned in laparoscopic (a type of surgery with small cameras) can help with robotic surgery.
- Results showed that many laparoscopic skills can be used in robotic surgery, especially for advanced techniques, and that robotic simulators help new surgeons learn faster.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented health care challenges mandating surgical service reconfiguration. Within our hospital, emergency and elective streams were separated and self-contained Protected Elective Surgical Units were developed to mitigate against infection-related morbidity. Aims of this study were to determine the risk of COVID-19 transmission and mortality and whether the development of Protected Elective Surgical Units can result in significant reduction in risk.
