A structured training program significantly enhances surgical performance for robotic procedures.

• 16 experienced surgeons trained in a four-stage curriculum, with only 8 achieving full certification.
• Robotic procedures resulted in less blood loss (266.2 ml vs. 598.2 ml) despite longer operative times (304.9 min vs. 259.1 min).
• No difference in lymph node yield or complication rates compared to traditional methods.

This model can be adapted for other institutions, ensuring safer transitions to robotic techniques in public health settings.
