Robotic‐assisted minimally invasive surgery; a useful tool in resident training—the Peoria experience, 2002–2009

The purpose of this study was to review the use of robotic‐assisted general surgery at our institution. We evaluated the 8 year experience of one minimally invasive surgery (MIS) fellowship‐trained surgeon in Peoria, IL, performing 240 cases of foregut, colon, solid organ and biliary surgery using the da Vinci system, with resident assistance. Foregut and colon procedures are the fifth and sixth most commonly performed procedures of the senior author annually.
