Abstract
At our institution, scrub nurses leave the surgical field during the console time for robotic surgeries to attend to other duties. The first assistant then assumes their responsibilities, allowing for efficient use of staff time and resources. This practice improves teamwork and can be presented as a cost-saving measure for hospital administrations.
