Effect of Residents’ Previous Laparoscopic Surgery Experience on Initial Robotic Suturing Experience

Table 1

Comparison of mean suturing times in resident groups in laparoscopic and robotic surgery.

	Laparoscopy (mean ± SD sec)	Robot; (mean ± SD sec)	𝑃 value
PGY3; (𝑛=4)	158±457	235±337	0.5
PGY4; (𝑛=9)	457±158	337±235	0.02
All residents; (𝑛=13)	382±159	326±196	0.12

𝑃<0.05: statistically significant.
