Abstract
Introduction: A single surgeon approach to laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion can offer improved efficiency to surgical lists as well as freeing up surgeons to complete other operations or ward jobs. Simple, low risk laparoscopic procedures which can be completed quickly with the aid of a robotic assistant can help hospitals improve efficiency of surgical departments. This study aims to assess the learning curve of a single surgeon approach using the Freehand robotic assistant in peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion.
