Physicians at Loyola Medicine have developed an online system to improve the logging of robotic surgeries performed by surgeons in training to better document their specific involvement in these surgical procedures.
The web-based system, called RoboLog, provides detailed information about a resident’s involvement in robotic surgeries. The system was successfully piloted documenting more than 300 urologic robotic surgeries—the total now stands at more than 600—and including 11 common urologic robotic procedures. Results of the pilot were recently published in the Journal of Surgical Education.
