Popis: Background: The objective of this study was to compare the efficiency of manual and robotically assisted laparoscopic surgery. Methods: To evaluate the surgical efficiency in a set of basic endoscopic movements, 20 medical students without any surgical experience were selected to perform at random a set of laparoscopic tasks either manually or robotic assisted (Zeus). This task consisted of dropping beads into receptacles, running a 25-cm rope, capping a hypodermic needle, suturing, and performing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy on a cadaver liver of a pig. A quantitative time–action analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy and skill performance in terms of time and the number of actions. Results: The dropping beads exercise and the laparoscopic cholecystectomy required more time when performed with robotic assistance, as compared with manual performance (respectively, median, 78.5 s; range, 63 – 122 s vs median, 144.5 s; range, 100 – 169 s; p
