Structured training curricula for robotic colorectal surgery in China: does laparoscopic experience affect training effects?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robotic surgery has been widely adopted for colorectal cancer (CRC). Many surgeons in China have completed structured training programs and have performed robotic colorectal surgeries. This multicenter study aimed to evaluate the training effects of structured training curricula in China for surgeons with different laparoscopic experiences during their initial implementation of robotic colorectal surgery.

Methods

Ten surgeons from five high-volume centers participated in this retrospective study. The baseline characteristics, perioperative data, and pathological outcomes were compared between the first 15 robotic surgeries performed by five surgeons with extensive laparoscopic experience (group A) and the first 15 robotic surgeries performed by five surgeons with limited laparoscopic experience (group B) at each center.

Results

Compared with group B, group A showed shorter operation time (200.9 vs. 254.2 min, P<0.001), less blood loss (100.0 vs. 150.0 mL, P=0.025), and a lower incidence of intraoperative complications (2.7% vs. 21.4%, P=0.015). The reoperation rate (1.3% vs. 5.3%, P=0.036) and postoperative complication rate (6.7% vs. 22.7%, P=0.025) were significantly lower in group A than in group B. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics (e.g., age, sex, and tumor location) and pathological information (e.g., tumor stage, lymph node count, and tumor size) between the two groups. Radical resection (R0) was performed in all cases.

Conclusions

In China, structured training curricula can help surgeons with extensive laparoscopic experience make a smooth transition from laparoscopic to robotic surgery. However, the higher intraoperative and postoperative complication rates indicate that structured training curricula still require further refinement for surgeons with limited laparoscopic experience.

Project description:Sacrocolpopexy has been dubbed the “gold standard” repair for apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP). This study sought to determine a genetic cause for sacrocolpopexy failure by comparing genotypes from 10 women who suffered from early POP reoccurance after sacrocolpopexy surgery, versus 40 randomly selected women with long term success after the same procedure. We objectively defined early overt failure after robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy as having a pelvic organ prolapse quantification system examination (POP-Q) of stage III or IV occurring in more than one compartment within six months after surgery. All medical records identified during this process were then reviewed by a panel of urogynecology attendings and fellows to select patients who were truly clinical outliers. By this method we identified 10 patients (cases) who experienced early overt surgical failure. We also randomly selected 40 controls from our research database which includes greater than 500 patients who underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy during the same time period and had been objectively and subjectively assessed for ≥ 12 months with surgical success at ≥ 12 months that did not undergo prolapse re-operation or re-treatment. Demographics and peri-operative details were compared between cases and controls. Exclusion criteria for controls included use of other graft material besides polypropylene mesh, prior surgery for prolapse involving graft material, and conversion to laparotomy. DNA from the 10 cases and 40 controls was isolated from buccal swabs and genotyped on a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array that contains 250,000 markers (NspI 250K SNP array, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). All women in this study identified as Caucasian. All subjects provided written informed consent to study participation and data release. This was a case-control study approved by the Institutional Review Board at the Atlantic Health System in Morristown New Jersey (R11-10-004).
