“…The training program we introduced includes the common elements of didactics, skills training, and operative experience, which we found described in structured training curricula for other specialties. While we found two other descriptions of structured modules for training residents in the field of head and neck surgery, notably these modules focused solely on training exercises in an inanimate robotics laboratory setting [11,12]. The structured curriculum described in this report differs by additionally focusing on training in didactics and operative modules.…”

“…While no two curricula were exactly the same, common elements across the many programs could be identified. In otorhinolaryngology, there were two prior descriptions of structured modules, based solely in a robotic skills training laboratory [11,12]. However, in the other curricula, important structured elements include didactics teaching, skills practice in laboratory settings, and progressive surgical skills development in the operating room.…”

“…A surgical robot is used to practice inanimate skills, as has been described previously for otorhinolaryngology residents [11]. The advantage of this training is that the device is realistic to the actual robot used in surgery.…”

Purpose: To define a curriculum for the development of robotic surgical skills in otorhinolaryngology residency training. Methods: A systematic review of the current literature on robotic surgery training was performed. Based on prior reports in other specialties, a curriculum for otorhinolaryngology residents was created that progresses through several modules, including didactics, inanimate skills laboratory, and operative experience. Results: The curriculum for residents in otorhinolaryngology was designed as follows: didactics include an overview of the robotic device and instruments, a tutorial in basic controls and function, and a room setup and positioning. The anatomy and steps of transoral procedures are taught through books, videos, operative observations, and cadaver dissections. Skills are developed with a virtual reality robotic simulator and robotics labs. The operative experience progresses from case observation to bedside assistant to console surgeon. The role of the console surgeon progresses in a stepwise fashion, and the procedures of radical tonsillectomy, supraglottic partial laryngectomy, and base of tongue resection have been organized as a series of steps. Conclusion: A structured curriculum for training residents in transoral robotic surgery was developed. This training is important for otorhinolaryngology residents to acquire the knowledge and skills to perform robotic surgery safely.

“…There have been nascent efforts to develop specific training curricula within the specialty of OTO-HNS, including a structured curricular training with TORS procedure-specific tasks. 11,12 This curriculum verifies the utility of such training in improving human-machine operation skills and TORS-specific surgical skills with objective assessment.…”

Training and credentialing for robotic surgery in otolaryngology - head and neck surgery is currently not standardized, but rather relies heavily on industry guidance. This manuscript represents a comprehensive review of this increasingly important topic and outlines clear recommendations to better standardize the practice. The recommendations provided can be used as a reference by individuals and institutions alike, and are expected to evolve over time.

“…Not only this, current experiments to design a curriculum for integration of training program in robotic surgery by J.J Moles et al already indicate that only less time is required to learn the basics of robotic surgical manoeuvres. [9] Endolaryngeal suturing can also be performed with ease using robotic technques.…”

Perspective on robotic surgery and its role in head and neck cancers

EditorialRobotic surgery has already made its mark in other surgical specialities such as cardiology, gynecology, and urology. [1,2] In head and neck surgery also a promising role awaits. Already immense potential is displayed by the ongoing current clinical experiments across the world. It offers all the benefits of minimally invasive surgery such as small incisions, minimal tissue damage, less blood loss and eventually short hospital stay with minimal procedure-related morbidity.

Establishing a training program for residents in robotic surgery

Abstract: Robotic surgery will likely become an integral part of otolaryngologic surgical practice. Training programs in robotic surgery need to be formally established in residency programs. We present a preliminary program for introducing robotic surgical skills in residency training.
