Desarrollo multidisciplinario de la cirugía robótica en un hospital universitario de tercer nivel: organización y resultados / Multidisciplinary development of robotic surgery in a University Tertiary Hospital: Organization and outcomes

Introducción El sistema Da Vinci (Intuitive Surgical®) es un telemanipulador quirúrgico que proporciona numerosas ventajas técnicas al abordaje laparoscópico convencional (visión tridimensional, posición ergonómica, precisión en los movimientos, instrumental multiarticular, etc.) y que se viene utilizando en diversas especialidades en todo el mundo desde el año 2000. El primer hospital público español que incorporó esta tecnología robótica fue el Hospital Clínico San Carlos (HCSC) de Madrid en julio de 2006.IntroducciónPresentamos la organización multidisciplinaria y los resultados asistenciales, docentes e investigadores del programa de cirugía robótica (PCR) desarrollado en el HCSC. Material y método Con una dirección común y un equipo común de instrumentistas, se incorporaron progresivamente al PCR los servicios de Cirugía General, Urología y Ginecología, con procedimientos variados y de complejidad creciente. Se programaron numerosas actividades docentes y de difusión tanto intrahospitalarias como extrahospitalarias para dar a conocer el PCR. Resultados Entre julio de 2006 y julio de 2008 se intervinieron 306 pacientes en el ámbito del PCR-HCSC: 169 en Cirugía General, 107 en Urología y 30 en Ginecología. Los resultados demostraron la factibilidad de los procedimientos y su corta curva de aprendizaje. La actividad docente realizada incluyó a residentes y especialistas interesados en la tecnología robótica. Conclusión La incorporación estructurada y gradual de la cirugía robótica mediante el PCR-HCSC ha permitido facilitar el aprendizaje, compartir la infraestructura diseñada, coordinar las actividades de difusión y la colaboración multidisciplinaria. Esta experiencia inicial ha demostrado la eficacia de una organización adecuada y un equipo motivado (AU)

Background Da Vinci system (Intuitive Surgical®) is a surgical telemanipulator providing many technical advantages over conventional laparoscopic approach (3-D vision, ergonomics, highly precise movements, endowrist instrumentation…) and it is currently applied to several specialties throughout the world since 2000. The first Spanish public hospital incorporating this robotic technology was Hospital Clinico San Carlos (HCSC) in Madrid, in July 2006.BackgroundWe present the multidisciplinary organization and clinical, research and training outcomes of the Robotic Surgery Plan developed in the HCSC. Material and methods Starting from joint management and joint scrub nurses team, General and Digestive Surgery, Urology and Gynaecology Departments were progressively incorporated into the Robotic Surgery Plan, with several procedures increasing in complexity. A number of intra and extra-hospital teaching and information activities were planned to report on the Robotic Surgery Plan. Results Between July 2006 and July 2008, 306 patients were operated on: 169 by General Surgery, 107 by Urology and 30 by Gynaecology teams. The outcomes showed feasibility and a short learning curve. The educational plan included residents and staff interested in robotic technology application. Conclusion The structured and gradual incorporation of robotic surgery throughout the PCR-HCSC has made it easier to learn, to share designed infrastructure, to coordinate information activities and multidisciplinary collaboration. This preliminary experience has shown the efficiency of an adequate organization and motivated team (AU)

BACKGROUND: Da Vinci system (Intuitive Surgical) is a surgical telemanipulator providing many technical advantages over conventional laparoscopic approach (3-D vision, ergonomics, highly precise movements, endowrist instrumentation...) and it is currently applied to several specialties throughout the world since 2000. The first Spanish public hospital incorporating this robotic technology was Hospital Clinico San Carlos (HCSC) in Madrid, in July 2006. We present the multidisciplinary organization and clinical, research and training outcomes of the Robotic Surgery Plan developed in the HCSC. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Starting from joint management and joint scrub nurses team, General and Digestive Surgery, Urology and Gynaecology Departments were progressively incorporated into the Robotic Surgery Plan, with several procedures increasing in complexity. A number of intra and extra-hospital teaching and information activities were planned to report on the Robotic Surgery Plan. RESULTS: Between July 2006 and July 2008, 306 patients were operated on: 169 by General Surgery, 107 by Urology and 30 by Gynaecology teams.
