Positive Surgical Margins After Anterior Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Assessing the Learning Curve in a Multi-institutional Collaboration

We characterized the learning curve for positive surgical margins after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, showing that more experienced surgeons had better margin rates than novices. Understanding what margins affect recurrence and whether these margins are trainable or a result of other factors may shed light on where to focus future efforts in surgical education.
