Cost analysis of training residents in robotic-assisted surgery.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: Use of robotic-assisted surgery is increasing, and resident involvement may lead to higher costs. We investigated whether senior resident involvement in noncomplex robotic cholecystectomy (RC) and inguinal hernia (RIH) would take more t...

Feasibility, effectiveness and transferability of a novel mastery-based virtual reality robotic training platform for general surgery residents.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The annual number of robotic surgical procedures is on the rise. Robotic surgery requires unique skills compared to other surgical approaches. Simulation allows basic robot skill acquisition and enhances patient safety. The purpose of thi...

Effect of Artificial Intelligence Tutoring vs Expert Instruction on Learning Simulated Surgical Skills Among Medical Students: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: To better understand the emerging role of artificial intelligence (AI) in surgical training, efficacy of AI tutoring systems, such as the Virtual Operative Assistant (VOA), must be tested and compared with conventional approaches.

The Importance of the Institution of a Robotic Curriculum on Resident Training and Performance.

The American surgeon
In 2018, general surgery topped the number of robotic cases. Over 90% of residents participate, but only 65% of programs have a formal curriculum, and less than half track progress. Many are insufficient at training due to an observational role. This...

Use of artificial intelligence for gender bias analysis in letters of recommendation for general surgery residency candidates.

American journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Letters of recommendation (LoRs) play an important role in resident selection. Author language varies implicitly toward male and female applicants. We examined gender bias in LoRs written for surgical residency candidates across three dec...

Developing a Robotic General Surgery Training Curriculum: Identifying Key Elements Through a Delphi Process.

Journal of surgical education
OBJECTIVE: A national robotic surgery curriculum is still developing for general surgery residents as robotic surgery becomes increasingly accessible. One general surgery residency program utilized a Delphi process to optimize a robotic surgery curri...
