Abstract

Purpose of reviewThe aim of this narrative review is to identify the currently available training programs in the field of robotic-assisted surgery.Recent findingsThe lack of well trained robotic surgeons represents the main obstacle facing robotic surgery. This calls for development of structured robotic training programs in order to improve patient safety and outcomes. Structured curriculum should consist of theoretical training (e-learning, case observation), preclinical simulation-based training (virtual reality simulation, dry and wet lab), clinical modular training, and final evaluation. Tele-mentoring might reveal mandatory in future curricula development. To date, several training programs are currently available for robotic surgery. However, the majority lack of clinical modular training that consists of progressive, proficiency-based training through surgical steps with increasing levels of complexity. Moreover, many of these curricula lack validation.SummaryThis recent literature analysis suggests that there is an urgent need to develop and validate new structured training curricula for robotic surgery. This allows to improve the skills of the surgeons and of their team and to prevent patients from being used as a training module optimizing their safety.
