Research findings reveal that both general surgery and subspecialty residents and attendings generally support the implementation of a robotic surgery curriculum during residency, indicating the need for a standardized training program to ensure the teaching of basic skills in robotic surgery.
General surgery residents are increasingly exposed to robotic surgery during their training. However, there is no standardized robotic educational curriculum across United States residency programs. Prior to implementing a robotic surgery curriculum, we surveyed our residents and attendings to ascertain their attitude towards robotic surgery training in residency. An anonymous survey was distributed to all general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN), and urology residents, and their respective attending staff at our institution. Responses were compared between residents, attendings, and specialty. Twenty-six (72% response rate) general surgery residents and 18 (47%) subspecialty residents (OBGYN and urology) responded to the survey. Among attendings, 21 general surgery (32%) and 18 subspecialty staff (27%) responded. The majority of general surgery residents and attendings agreed that a robotic surgery curriculum should be implemented in the general surgery residency program (100 vs 86%, p = 0.04). Subspecialty residents also believed a formal curriculum should be implemented within their respective programs (100%). There was no statistically significant difference between general surgery and subspecialty resident responses. The majority of general surgery and subspecialty attendings responded that they would want a robotic surgery curriculum if they were currently residents (76 vs 94%, p = 0.12). The majority of general surgery residents and attendings at our institution believe a robotic surgery curriculum should be offered during residency. This attitude is similar to those of the subspecialty residents and attendings. A surgical education initiative should be developed to create a standardized training program to assure teaching of basic technical skills in robotic surgery before trainees enter clinical practice.
