How I Teach It : Robotic Surgery in the Upper GI Tract

Thieme. All rights reserved..

In this manuscript, we present our concept for training in robotic surgery of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The training concept presented here focuses on the two surgical "user groups", assistants (table assists) and specialists (surgeons), and presents the core aspects of training for each group separately.For table assistants, we present opportunities for early involvement in robotics and our approach to learning the first steps in preparing for surgery, assisting during surgery, as well as communication as a key factor in robotic surgery and alternative training.For specialists who are to learn how to perform robotic procedures independently, we discuss virtual training using SimNow Trainer and our preferred early clinical application. We will also present assistance options such as the dual console setup and the telestration system. Finally, we present our training concept for developing robotic surgical skills in the upper gastrointestinal tract through a combination of partial steps and increasing difficulty of the procedures. In our view, it is essential to teach the stepstones of robotic surgery and to master them safely. To this end, training must be structured and regular so that more complex sub-steps and procedures can be taken over step by step.
