Stakeholders’ Perspectives on the Adoption of Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Considerations of Human-Robot Interactions, the Built Environment, and Training
DescriptionRobotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is a form of minimally invasive surgery in which operators (i.e., surgeons and the surgical team) perform an operation with the assistance of computer and software technology to control surgical instruments. RAS platforms have been able to change the operating room (OR) by providing improved dexterity, enhanced 3-D visualization, and better patient outcomes. Despite the current technological advancements and adoption of robotic platforms, there is still a limited understanding of the enablers and barriers to adoption. This study aims to explore the barriers and enablers from three aspects critical to facilitating RAS adoption: the human-robotic interaction, the built environment, and RAS training. To achieve this goal, a mixed-methods study was completed to gain broader perspectives from the public and RAS stakeholders through surveys and focus groups.
