Area of Science:

  • Robotic Surgery
  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Education

Background:

  • Robot-assisted surgery has seen significant growth since 2000.
  • Approximately 650,000 robot-assisted procedures were performed globally in 2015.
  • Effective surgeon training is crucial for adopting new surgical technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the design and capabilities of dedicated da Vinci robotic surgical simulators.
  • To provide detailed information for selecting appropriate training devices.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of four da Vinci robotic simulators: da Vinci Skills Simulator (dVSS), dV-Trainer (dVT), Robotic Skills Simulators (RoSS), and RobotiX Mentor.
  • Evaluation of hardware, software, and training features.

Main Results:

  • All simulators offer numerous training exercises (dVSS: 40, dVT: 65, RoSS: 52, RobotiX Mentor: 31).
  • Varied display technologies are used, with dVSS using the actual console and others simulating controls.
  • All systems include performance tracking for instructors.

Conclusions:

  • Each simulator presents distinct advantages for robotic surgeon training.
  • Existing validation studies lack specific details needed for informed selection.
  • This comparison provides crucial information to aid organizations in choosing the most suitable simulator.
