Evaluating the learning curve in robot-assisted laparoscopic total hysterectomy: single-port versus multi-port Da Vinci platforms.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to assess and compare the learning curves of the Da Vinci S Multi-port (MP) and Da Vinci Single-Port (SP) platforms for total hysterectomy, with particular attention to how prior MP experience influences SP performance. This is a retrospective comparative study on patients undergoing robot-assisted total hysterectomy (benign or early endometrial cancer indication) with the MP and SP systems. All operations were performed by the same surgeon, and cases performed with the SP system were performed after the MP system. Operating time was used as the main indicator of the learning curve, analyzed by the CUSUM method. Data were processed with R software, and differences between groups were evaluated with t-test and Chi-squared test (significance p < 0.05). A total of 147
