“…Despite the seemingly similar oncologic outcomes, the main disadvantages in using the robotic system for liver surgery pertains to the need for specialized training of the surgeon and the surgical staff, as well as the high cost intrinsic to this approach . There is lack of validation of the virtual‐reality training consoles which, however, may be overcome with the robotic dual console . Moreover, the limited number of robotic instruments for parenchymal transection may be an additional burden for its wider application.…”

The robotic system has emerged as a new minimally invasive technology with promising results. We sought to systematically review the available literature on the safety and the oncologic outcomes of robotic liver surgery. A systematic review was conducted using Medline (PubMed), Embase and Cochrane library through November 12th, 2017. A robotic approach may be a safe and feasible surgical option for minor and major liver resections.

“…There are less data regarding the objective utility of the dual-assist console and expert-guided mentorship in a dry laboratory setting as several recent studies did not show any significant difference in performance time during the teaching of training drills to medical students [11,12]. However, benefits of the use of the dual console may allow for more rapid involvement of the residents in surgical cases and may be more time efficient [13].…”

Time to consider integration of a formal robotic-assisted surgical training program into obstetrics/gynecology residency curricula

et al. 2017

The objectives of the study were to describe robotic-assisted surgery training programs currently being used by ACGMEaccredited obstetrics and gynecology (OB/Gyn) residency programs and to explore residents' attitudes towards their robotic surgery training curricula to evaluate resident desire for robotics training. We conducted a cross-sectional study of OB/Gyn residents for the 2015-2016 academic year. Participants completed a 31-item online questionnaire regarding their roboticassisted surgical training and associated perspectives. Analyses of these data were primarily descriptive. In total, 98.9% of included respondents (N = 177) reported availability of a surgical robot at their training institution, and 35.0% of participants reported not having any structured robotics training program at their institution. The most commonly used training modalities included online modules (62.2%), dual-assist console (55.1%) and virtual reality simulation (50.3%). The most commonly reported barriers to completing a robots training were a lack of personal time (56.2%) and availability of the virtual reality simulator or access to the robotic equipment (29.2%). OB/Gyn residents desire robotics training and are exposed to a wide variety of training modalities. The ACGME should consider recommending the incorporation of a standardized formal robotics training program as part of the OB/Gyn residency curriculum.

“…Simulation and virtual-reality surgical training are promising, but are still under development and require validation (34,35). The robotic dual console is a teaching tool that could help accelerate proficiency (36). Another problem, more specific to liver surgery, is that currently there are only a limited number of robotic instruments for parenchymal transection.…”
