Abstract
Scientific best practices and controlled experimentation are not evident in the execution of the Saito et al study and published cleaning efficacy data refute the results. Additionally, the safety of robotic-assisted surgery has been extensively reported in the clinical literature; numerous multisite studies have reported statistically significant lower infection rates for robotic-assisted surgery compared to other surgical methods. Thus, the assertions and assumptions of the article are without merit.
