OBJECTIVE: Nowadays, in Bulgaria there is a trend of increasing entry into the surgical field of robot-assisted surgery operations, which suggests a need for the establishment of a large number of specialists in this field in a short period. Based on these arguments, the Medical University of Varna was the first university in the country to introduce a robotic surgery training program for medical students. The study aims to investigate the medical students' satisfaction on robotic surgery training provided at Medical University of Varna with da Vinci Skills Simulator. DESIGN: During the summer semester of the academic 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 years, a pilot training of robotic surgery was conducted with 5th year students in Medicine. Within one month, the students had the opportunity to get acquainted with the simulator of da Vinci Xi robotic system. The training was divided into two modules: a two-week theoretical module and a two-week practical module. After completing the training, students filled out a questionnaire dedicated to assess their satisfaction with the proposed training. Correlation between their responses and the objective parameters assessed on the simulator was calculated. RESULTS: Thirty participants (16 men and 14 women) shared their opinion on easiness of use and usefulness of the robotic simulator in training of surgery activities. Students' responses highly evaluated both aspects with average five-point Likert scale scores of 4.3 and 4.5, respectively. 93% of the participants would continue their further education and training in robotic surgery field. In addition, there was no correlation between objective evaluation by the simulator and students responses. CONCLUSIONS: Training in robotic surgery proves to be a useful approach for training students to develop skills and profession in the field of surgery. The results suggest that training in this field may be accomplished even at the student level, by exploiting the robotic surgery in realistic scenario and thus, in a timely manner to find out the surgical direction they want to be further evolved.
目的：如今，在保加利亚，机器人辅助手术操作进入外科领域的趋势日益明显，这意味着需要在短时间内培养大量该领域的专家。基于这些理由，瓦尔纳医科大学成为该国第一所面向医学生推出机器人手术培训项目的大学。本研究旨在调查医学生对瓦尔纳医科大学使用达芬奇技能模拟器提供的机器人手术培训的满意度。 设计：在2020/2021学年和2021/2022学年的夏季学期，对医学专业五年级学生进行了机器人手术试点培训。在一个月内，学生们有机会熟悉达芬奇Xi机器人系统模拟器。培训分为两个模块：为期两周的理论模块和为期两周的实践模块。培训结束后，学生们填写了一份问卷，以评估他们对所提供培训的满意度。计算他们的回答与模拟器上评估的客观参数之间的相关性。 结果：30名参与者（16名男性和14名女性）分享了他们对机器人模拟器在手术活动培训中的易用性和实用性的看法。学生们的回答对这两个方面都给予了高度评价，平均五点李克特量表得分分别为4.3和4.5。93%的参与者将继续在机器人手术领域深造和培训。此外，模拟器的客观评估与学生的回答之间没有相关性。 结论：事实证明，机器人手术培训是培养学生外科手术技能和专业素养的一种有效方法。结果表明，通过在现实场景中利用机器人手术，即使在学生层面也可以完成该领域的培训，从而及时找出他们想要进一步发展的手术方向。
