    Robotic surgery enhances minimally invasive reconstruction with benefits like three-dimensional visualization and articulated instrumentation.

  • 2

    Total operative time does not effectively identify technically difficult segments or differentiate between technical inefficiency and adaptation.

  • 3

    AI integrated with surgical data science can transform the assessment of operative performance through automated phase recognition.

  • 4

    This study developed an automated phase-recognition model for robotic choledochal cyst surgery and evaluated its clinical workflow implications.

  • 5

    Nine clinically meaningful phases were defined for robotic choledochal cyst procedures to facilitate structured workflow analysis.
