“…For example, GEARS has now been validated in not only live clinical cases,[ 39 ] but its application has also been established for dry lab and in vivo training as well. [ 10 11 ] Additionally, a correlation between Mimic simulation metrics and corresponding global assessment metrics has been elucidated. [ 10 ]…”

“…Simulator performance evaluation is largely based on objective motion and time-based metrics. [ 10 11 22 23 25 ] However, these metrics and scoring systems are developed without knowing their clinical significance. This presents a unique challenge to researchers and educators as these metrics must then be reverse validated.…”

Objectives:The objectives of this review are to summarize the current training modalities and assessment tools used in urological robotic surgery and to propose principles to guide the formation of a comprehensive robotics curriculum.Materials and Methods:The PUBMED database was systematically searched for relevant articles and their citations utilized to broaden our search. These articles were reviewed and summarized with a focus on novel developments.Results:A multitude of training modalities including didactic, dry lab, wet lab, and virtual reality have been developed. The use of these modalities can be divided into basic skills-based exercises and more advanced procedure-based exercises. Clinical training has largely followed traditional methods of surgical teaching with the exception of the unique development of tele-mentoring for the da Vinci interface. Tools to assess both real-life and simulator performance have been developed, including adaptions from Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery and Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill, and novel tools such as Global Evaluative Assessment of Robotic Skills.Conclusions:The use of these different entities to create a standardized curriculum for robotic surgery remains elusive. Selection of training modalities and assessment tools should be based upon performance data-based validity and practical feasibility. Comparative assessment of different modalities (cross-modality validity) can help strengthen the development of common skill sets. Constant data collection must occur to guide continuing curriculum improvement.
