Behav'Robot: Understanding the Surgeon Behavior During Robot-assisted Surgery

Robot-assisted surgery is spreading since the last decade, but little is known about the impact of the use of the robot on surgeon practices and behavior in the operation theatre.

Interviewing senior surgeons trained for doing robot-assisted surgery, this qualitative study is expected to provide new insights to understand the surgeons' behavioral changes when using a robot.

This study will contribute to improving training programs in robot-assisted surgery.
