Resumen
VASQUEZ-LASTRA, Carlos et al. Robotic surgery at ABC Medical Center: first 500 procedures experience. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2021, vol.157, n.2, pp.188-193. Epub 23-Jun-2021. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.20000357.
Background:
Robotic surgery is used in different surgical specialties worldwide.
Objective:
To documents the initial experience in a private hospital in the use robotic surgery in different surgical areas.
Material and Methods:
We included the first 500 robotic surgeries in our hospital in a 3 year period, documenting specialty and operative information.
Results:
Of the 500 patients, 367 (73.4%) were male and 133 (26.4%) female. The three most frequent surgeries performed were Radical Prostatectomy (269), Hysterectomy (64) an inguinal repair (33). A total of 40 certified surgeons ranging from 5 specialties performed the total number of surgeries.
Conclusions:
There are several implications in starting a robotic program in a private hospital setting. The creation of a robotic committee, formed by robotic certified physicians and hospital authorities, has helped in the certification process of its staff, lowering the complication rate and obtaining better surgical results.
