Team interactions in robotic-assisted surgery: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT: Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) significantly alters the operating theater team's spatial configuration, necessitating different communication strategies that subsequently affect team dynamics. Despite the growing prevalence of RAS, inconsistencies remain regarding the conceptualization and measurement of team interactions specifically in RAS in the existing literature. This scoping review aims to provide an overview of the empirical research on team interactions within RAS, identify research gaps, and propose future directions. We conducted the scoping review following updated methodological guidelines and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) reporting standards.
