Learning curve for full-port robot-assisted mediastinal mass resection: a single-centre retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: The advent of da Vinci robotic technology has revolutionized the surgical management of mediastinal masses. However, research on the learning curve of full-port robot-assisted mediastinal mass resection remains limited. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 74 consecutive patients who underwent full-port robot-assisted mediastinal mass resection performed by a single surgeon at our center. We performed multiple linear regression analysis to evaluate and standardize the operative time (OT). Subsequently, the cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts were constructed to compare learning curve models derived from standardized versus nonstandardized OT data. Finally, a systematic evaluation was conducted to assess the perioperative parameters. Lesion size and intraoperative blood loss were iden
