Area of Science:

Surgical Education
Medical Technology

Background:

Robotic surgery is advancing rapidly, but a shortage of skilled surgeons hinders its widespread adoption.
Patient safety and outcomes are compromised by the lack of standardized, effective robotic surgical training.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify and evaluate existing training programs for robotic-assisted surgery.
To highlight deficiencies in current robotic surgical training curricula.

Main Methods:

A narrative review of the current literature on robotic surgery training programs.
Analysis of structured curriculum components including theoretical, simulation-based, and clinical training.

Main Results:

Several robotic surgery training programs exist, but most lack comprehensive clinical modular training.
Existing curricula often fail to incorporate progressive, proficiency-based learning and lack validation.
Tele-mentoring is identified as a potential key component for future training.

Conclusions:

There is an urgent need to develop and validate new, structured training curricula for robotic surgery.
Improved training will enhance surgeon and team skills, optimize patient safety, and prevent patients from serving as training tools.
