Postoperative complication rates across five patient cohorts (each ~ 100 cases). A significant reduction in overall complication rate was observed (from 10% to 1%), suggesting a learning curve effect. Significant values are marked with an asterisk (*). Other specific complications did not reach statistical significance.
