Robotic surgery training requires a structured, competency-based curriculum with preclinical and clinical components. Credentialing should focus on demonstrated proficiency and safety, not just case numbers, ensuring patient safety during the learning process.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Surgical robotics
  • Urology

Background:

  • Robotic surgery adoption has rapidly transformed minimally invasive surgery, particularly in urology.
  • This technological shift significantly impacts patients, surgeons, and surgical trainees.
  • New surgical technologies necessitate robust training and credentialing to maintain patient safety and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide best practice recommendations for developing robotic surgery training curricula and credentialing processes.
  • To ensure surgical outcomes and patient safety are not compromised during the adoption of robotic surgery.
  • To address the impact of widespread robotics adoption on surgical training and patient care.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted on surgical training curricula.

  • The search focused on existing robotic surgery training and credentialing programs.
  • Best practice recommendations were synthesized from the reviewed literature.

    • Main Results:

    • Robotic surgery training should utilize a structured, competency-based curriculum with graduated progression.
    • Training curricula must incorporate both preclinical and clinical components for effective technology adoption.
    • Robotic surgery credentialing necessitates a standardized, expert-determined educational process with proficiency criteria.

    Conclusions:

    • Robotic surgery credentialing should prioritize demonstrated proficiency and safety in basic skills and procedures over a minimum case count.
    • The accreditation process must be iterative to ensure ongoing accountability to patient safety.
    • Competency-based assessment is crucial for safe integration of robotic surgery into practice.
