Abstract

BACKGROUND: Currently, only a limited number of remote assistance modalities are utilized in the basic phase of robotic surgery training to facilitate the rapid acquisition of robotic surgery skills by surgeons. This study aimed to investigate the benefits of real-time remote surgical robotic skill training based on a multi-channel video recording and playback system.
