Objective:

To compare surgeon workload and short-term outcomes of robot-assisted colorectal surgery between JSES-certified surgeons and junior surgeons under direct supervision.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Surgeon workload varies between JSES-certified and junior surgeons.
    • Junior surgeons performed RAS under direct supervision of certified surgeons.
    • The Surgical-TLX effectively quantified intraoperative workload.
    Interpretation:

    Limitations:
    • Limited data on surgeon workload in robotic colorectal surgery.
    • Study conducted at a single institution may affect generalizability.
    Conclusion:
