Standardized training in robotic surgery in urology and andrology

Abstract

Robot surgical system is the most advanced laparoscopic surgery technology, with obvious advantages in urology. Training in robotic surgery is essential for the application of future surgical techniques. A standardized training program should be established for robotic surgery in urology and andrology and form a disciplinary consensus of expert ideas based on the actual conditions of China and successful experience abroad. This article summarizes the development status, standardized training, training curriculum and evaluation tools in robotic surgery at home and abroad, exploring the bridging of the gaps in the training program, prospects, and establishment of a training system for robotic surgery operating standards in urology and andrology in China.
