To assess the role of live porcine simulation in robotic surgical skills training. A qualitative and quantitative survey was conducted of participants of a live porcine robotic simulation course undertaken in a regional training centre. Data on participants' experience, robotic surgical ability, the educational impact and outcomes from the course were collected. Thirty-nine participants from four different countries completed the survey. Clinical experience varied; however, prior robotic surgical experience (median 0 cases, range 0-100) and technical ability were low. The perceived usefulness, effectiveness and realism of the training course were all highly scored. Participants rated the most useful course components as port placement and docking, basic robotic skills training and repair of a bladder injury. Training resulted in significant increases in technical ability (p < 0.0001). Following the course, 49% of participants continued to either train or perform robotic surgery. This survey demonstrates that live porcine simulation for robotic surgery is a highly valued, acceptable and feasible form of training. The majority of participants were relatively inexperienced but nonetheless significant improvements in technical ability were reported. The results of this survey support the use of live porcine training for robotic surgery.
评估活体猪模拟在机器人手术技能培训中的作用。对在区域培训中心进行的活体猪机器人模拟课程的参与者进行了定性和定量调查。收集了参与者的经验、机器人手术能力、课程的教育影响和结果的数据。来自四个不同国家的 39 名参与者完成了调查。临床经验各不相同；然而，先前的机器人手术经验（中位数 0 例，范围 0-100）和技术能力较低。培训课程的实用性、有效性和真实性均得到高度评价。参与者认为最有用的课程组件是端口放置和对接、基本机器人技能培训和膀胱损伤修复。培训显著提高了技术能力（p<0.0001）。课程结束后，49%的参与者继续进行机器人手术培训或手术。这项调查表明，活体猪模拟机器人手术是一种高度重视、可接受且可行的培训形式。大多数参与者经验相对不足，但报告的技术能力显著提高。这项调查的结果支持使用活体猪培训机器人手术。
