Popis: Objective: The educational objective is to teach physicians who are in training effective surgical techniques and options for minimally invasive surgery by performing robotic surgery. Design: Several educators influenced the authors' design for robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery training. It was posited that surgical education should be innovative and should include at least five aspects: (1) knowledge; (2) basic skills; (3) experience; (4) decision-making skills; and (5) quality performance and evaluation. Materials and Methods: The obstetric and gynecologic residency training program used for this study involved a total of 24 residents (6 residents per year), with ∼70% of the surgical training being performed at a large tertiary care university-affiliated community hospital. The gynecologic surgery rotation included 4 residents (one each postgraduate year 1–4) and had a duration of 8 weeks. Training was instituted when patients who were scheduled for robotic surgery consented, and the residen...
