متن کاملEndoscopic sleeve gastroplasty: the learning curve
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is gaining traction as a minimally invasive bariatric treatment. Concern that the learning curve may be slow, even among those proficient in endoscopic suturing, is a barrier to widespread implementation of the procedure. Therefore, we aimed to define the learning curve for ESG in a single endoscopist experienced in endoscopic sutu...
متن کاملWhat is the learning curve for robotic-assisted pedicle screw placement in spine surgery?
BACKGROUND Some early studies with robotic-assisted pedicle screw implantation have suggested these systems increase accuracy of screw placement. However, the relationship between the success rate of screw placement and the learning curve of this new technique has not been evaluated. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We determined whether, as a function of surgeon experience, (1) the success rate of robotic...
متن کاملLearning Curve for Endoscopic Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy
PURPOSE To elucidate the learning curve for endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EE-DCR) based on the results of EE-DCR performed by three surgeons at three different tertiary hospitals. METHODS A retrospective review of the medical records of 386 eyes of 337 patients who had undergone EE-DCR by three surgeons at three tertiary hospitals and who were available for a >6-month postoperat...
متن کاملLearning curve for peroral endoscopic myotomy.
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Although peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is being performed more frequently, the learning curve for gastroenterologists performing the procedure has not been well studied. The aims of this study were to define the learning curve for POEM and determine which preoperative and intraoperative factors predict the time that will be taken to complete the procedure and its d...
