[Teaching and Training in Robot-assisted Surgery]. Zentralbl Chir. 2020 Jun;145(3):271-277 Authors: Schmelzle M, Malinka T, Bahra M, Pratschke J Abstract The development and proliferation of robot-assisted surgery has greatly extended the field of minimally invasive surgery. Thus, this necessitates the development of adequate training programs to prepare surgeons for the operating room of the future. Transferring established and proven methods of training and assessment in aviation could help robotic training programs become more effective, efficient and safer. Simulation is a safe and cost-effective way of training and in addition may improve operating room performance. Proctoring and flying doctor models are established concepts, especially for advanced training. This review summarises current developments in robotic surgical training and teaching and may help to start a controversial discussion. PMID: 32498108 [PubMed - in process]
