  1. The patients were divided into four subgroups, with 10 patients each in succession, arranged in a chronological order.
  2. SD, standard deviation; Hb, hemoglobin; IQR, interquartile range.
  3. aDocking time is defined as the time to move the robotic cart towards the surgical field and attach robotic arms to the inserted ports.
  4. bConsole time is defined as the time taken for the surgeon to perform the operation at the console.
  5. cTotal operation time is defined as the time from the initial skin incision for port insertion to the closure of skin incision.
  6. dPostoperative Hb change is defined as Hb difference between preoperative and postoperative day 1.
  7. ePostoperative complications were evaluated during the first month after surgery.
