Perioperative Nursing Role in Robotic Surgery: An Integrative Review

Published:February 06, 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jopan.2022.11.001

      Abstract

      Purpose

      Robotic surgery is an increasingly popular approach across surgical specialties in several countries. Nurses embedded in this highly-technological environment, however, could excessively center their attention to the robot, deviating their focus from the patient. The Perioperative Patient Focused Model is proposed as a theoretical framework to guide nursing perioperative care towards a patient-centered approach based upon 4 dimensions: Health System, Safety, Behavioral Responses and Physiological Responses. This review aimed to understand the role of perioperative nursing in robotic surgery according to the Perioperative Patient Focused Model.

      Design

      An integrative review.

      Methods

      The Whittemore and Knafl methodology guided this review. The following databases were searched: PubMed, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, Scielo, and LILACS. The keywords used were “Robotic Surgical Procedures” and “Nursing” and their equivalents in Spanish, Portuguese, and French, using the Boolean operator “AND,” within the time frame of 2010-2021.

      Findings

      A total of 1,695 articles were retrieved, of which 26 were retained for the final analysis. The majority (n = 17) were written in English, with a level of evidence between 4 and 5. The main actions performed by nursing professionals were retrieved in the Health Systems, Safety, and Behavioral Responses dimensions, focusing on the intraoperative and postoperative period. However, most of the patient's responses were presented in the postoperative stage, even after discharge. Encompassing these findings, a theoretical framework is proposed.

      Conclusions

      Nursing professional duties are diverse within the course of robotic surgery. It is necessary to expand the Perioperative Nursing specialty towards an extended care, encompassing even the community settings.
