| Abstract |
Minimally invasive surgery is associated with several patient-related benefits, including reduced length of hospital stay and reduced blood loss. Robotic-assisted surgery offers many advantages when compared with standard laparoscopic procedures, including a stable three-dimensional binocular camera platform, motion smoothing and motion scaling, improved dexterity and ergonomics. There are limited data on the effectiveness of the dual-console DaVinci Xi platform for teaching resident surgeons. The goal of this study was to examine preliminary outcomes following the introduction of a dual-console robotic platform in our institution. A retrospective review of our prospectively maintained patient database was performed. The first ten dual-console resident-performed procedures in colorectal surgery were compared with matched cases performed on a single console by the trainer. Patient demographics, operative times and patient outcomes were compared. Twenty patients were included in this study. There was no significant difference in console time (p = 0.46) or total operative time (p = 0.52) when residents and trainers were compared. Patient outcomes were equivalent, with no difference in length of stay, morbidity or mortality. The DaVinci Xi dual-console platform is a safe and effective platform for training junior surgeons. The dual-console system has the potential to alter surgical training pathways. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 18. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 December 2017.
All research outputs
#2,051,816
of 25,489,496 outputs
Outputs from Techniques in Coloproctology
#198
of 1,360 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#38,472
of 325,542 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Techniques in Coloproctology
#12
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,489,496 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,360 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 325,542 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its contemporaries.
