In the second Journal of Robotic Surgery (JORS) Twitter
TM journal club, we discussed Vetter and colleague’s manuscript regarding survey results of robotic surgical training for obstetric and gynecology residents in the United States [
1]. In this study, 177 residents completed a 31-item questionnaire that covered a range of topics surrounding robotic training. Surprisingly, over 30% of respondents did not need to complete a robotics training course prior to working on the console, and 50% did not have formal evaluations during their robotic training, When asked what area of robotic training was most and least useful, 50% thought that the dual console was the most useful and 50% thought that online modules were least useful. Personal time was often stated as a major limitation to robotic training, given most residents are not allotted robotic training time during a normal workweek. Discussion ensued (see supplementary Table 1). …
