Skill transference and learning curves in novice learners: a randomized comparison of robotic and laparoscopic platforms.

Journal: Surgical endoscopy
Published Date: Sep 27, 2023

Abstract

BACKGROUND: While well-established protocols direct laparoscopic training, there remains a relative paucity of guidelines for robotic education. Furthermore, it is unknown how exposure to one platform influences trainees' proficiency in the other. This study aimed to compare and quantify (1) learning curves and (2) transference of skill between the two modalities in novice learners.
