    The study analyzed the learning curve of robotic right hemicolectomy using data from 106 patients operated on by a single surgeon.

  • 2

    The learning curve was divided into three phases, with operation time decreasing as the surgeon gained proficiency.

  • 3

    In phase 1, the surgeon experienced higher operation times and blood loss while familiarizing with the robotic platform.

  • 4

    Phase 2 saw optimized surgical procedures, leading to a plateau in operation time, while phase 3 showed the highest proficiency.

  • 5

    The study suggests robotic right hemicolectomy is easier to master for surgeons experienced in laparoscopic techniques.
