Public Health"],"abstract":"<jats:p>The emergent of medical science and technology has risen the minimally invasive surgery. Da Vinci Robotic Surgical Systems (RSS) is the trend at present. Compared with the past surgical methods, many studies related to RSS tend to explore postoperative outcomes and quality of life or compare the advantages and disadvantages than the other surgery. Few studies to understand the patients' willing who use RSS. This study mainly explores the patients' willingness and adopts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical foundation, and appended the trust concept to discuss. The study was a retrospective study and used a structured questionnaire to conduct a survey. The subjects included the patients with single-disease who had used RSS in a Medical Center of Southern Taiwan but excluded the patients with multiple disorder. This study conducted SPSS 22.0 and Smart PLS 2.0 software for statistical analysis, which included descriptive statistical analysis and applied Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis to test the research model and to examine the established hypotheses. A total of 136 cases were collected in this study. Study validation was tested. Trust positively affects Perceived Usefulness (\u03b2 = 0.550) and Perceived Ease of Use (\u03b2 = 0.300). Perceived Ease of Use positively affects Perceived Usefulness (\u03b2 = 0.188). Perceived Usefulness positively affects Attitude Toward Using (\u03b2 = 0.589. Attitude Toward Using positively affects Behavioral Intention (\u03b2 = 0.446. The relationship between perceived Ease of Use and Attitude toward Using was insignificant. Additionally, the relationship between Perceived Usefulness and Behavioral Intention was insignificant. In the research results, we found that patients are mostly in the middle and high age groups, and if the patient himself feels that RSS is extremely helpful to his illness, the intensity of his choice of intention will be high. In comparison, the information related to RSS has been clearly known, it does not directly affect the selection intention. According to age, most of the choices of RSS is based on safety and risk considerations, and it is beneficial to the patient himself, but RSS is also more expensive. We recommended that the government consider \u03b2\u03b2 reimbursing the RSS process in health insurance programs to meet the needs and expectations of patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2022.828542","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,31]],"date-time":"2022-01-31T01:08:03Z","timestamp":1643591283000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["When Does Da Vanci Robotic Surgical Systems Come Into Play?"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Hao-Yun","family":"Kao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi-Chen","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu-Han","family":"Hung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yenchun Jim","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"126","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2016.04.048","article-title":"Global scientific production of robotic surgery in medicine: A 20-year survey of research activities","volume":"30","author":"Fan","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int J Surg."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2675","DOI":"10.1007\/s10143-020-01445-6","article-title":"Global adoption of robotic technology into neurosurgical practice and research","volume":"44","author":"Stumpo","year":"2021","journal-title":"Neurosurg Rev."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1111\/bju.13592","article-title":"International Consultation on Urological Diseases and European Association of Urology International Consultation on Minimally Invasive Surgery in Urology: laparoscopic and robotic adrenalectomy","volume":"119","author":"Ball","year":"2017","journal-title":"BJU Int."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2014.00015","article-title":"Robotic vs. standard laparoscopic technique\u2013what is better?","volume":"1","author":"K\u00f6ckerling","year":"2014","journal-title":"Front Surg."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"241","DOI":"10.1007\/s00384-016-2682-7","article-title":"Urogenital function in robotic vs laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery: a comparative study","volume":"32","author":"Panteleimonitis","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int J Colorectal Dis."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"38","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mpsur.2019.10.018","article-title":"Updates in robotic colorectal surgery","volume":"38","author":"Shah","year":"2020","journal-title":"Surgery (Oxford)."},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2539","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-018-6547-8","article-title":"Wang X-j, Li J-w, Bie P, Chen J, Zheng S-g.
