Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Robotic Surgery Training
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • General surgery residency at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria has trained residents in robotic surgery since 2002.
  • A standardized curriculum and evaluation system were developed for robotic surgery education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effectiveness of a structured curriculum and evaluation system for general robotic surgery education.
  • To standardize robotic surgery training for surgical residents.

Main Methods:

  • A two-phase curriculum: Phase 1 (PGY 1-2) includes modules, readings, and simulation practice. Phase 2 (PGY 3-5) involves module refreshers, simulator proficiency (>90% every 6 months), bedside assistance (4+ procedures), and console surgeon experience (10+ procedures).
  • Simulator modules cover all documented skills categories.
  • Faculty utilized the Global Evaluative Assessment of Robotic Skills (GEARS) rubric for performance evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Data from 6 residents with at least 5 GEARS assessments were analyzed.
  • Positive correlations were observed between average skills (0.476–0.862) and overall performance scores (0.334–0.866).

Conclusions:

  • Preliminary findings suggest the curriculum enhances resident robotic surgical skills.
  • The program aims to equip general surgeons with robotic capabilities, potentially eliminating the need for a Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) fellowship.
