Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and perioperative outcomes of cholecystectomy and hernia repair performed with the Versius Robotic System by a surgeon with no prior robotic surgery experience. A retrospective analysis was conducted on adult patients who underwent cholecystectomy, inguinal, or umbilical hernia repair using the Versius Robotic System between August 2021 and June 2023 et al. Zahra Hospital, Dubai, UAE. A total of 105 patients (mean age 38.9 ± 9.2 years) were included. Significant correlations existed between the number of robot-assisted cholecystectomies and the operative metrics. As the number increased, the duration of the total operative (r = − 0.755, p < 0.001), docking (r = − 0.683, p < 0.001), and console (r = − 0.711, p < 0.001) times decreased, indicating improved efficiency with experience. This study demonstrates the safety and feasibility of the Versius Robotic System for cholecystectomy and hernia repair, even for surgeons lacking prior robotic surgery experience.
