Transference of skills in robotic vs. laparoscopic simulation: a randomized controlled trial.

Journal: BMC surgery
Published Date: Oct 28, 2021

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Elucidating how robotic skills are best obtained will enable surgeons to best develop future robotic training programs. We perform a randomized controlled trial to assess the performance of robotic compared to laparoscopic surgery, transference of pre-existing skills between the two modalities, and to assess the learning curve between the two using novice medical students.
