The increasing number of robotic urological procedures observed in recent years highlights the need to expand training opportunities in robotic surgery. Our objective is to investigate the state of robotic training during urology residency in Spain in order to identify significant deficiencies.
A 20-item online survey was conducted among urology residents in Spain who were registered in the database of the Residents and Young Urologists Group of the Spanish Association of Urology. The survey assessed subjective opinions, institutional aspects, training resources, and experience regarding robotic surgery. A total of 455 email invitations were sent throughout the year 2021. Descriptive analysis of the responses was performed.
The participation rate reached 30%, with a total of 135 residents. 52% of respondents lacked access to a robotic system in their institution, of which only 48% could compensate for this deficiency through external rotations. Among those with access to a robotic system, 25% and 23% reported having access to theoretical and practical training, respectively. The existence of a formal training program was low (13%). 85% of the respondents considered robotic surgery training in Spain to be deficient.
Training for Spanish residents in robotic urological surgery is perceived as inadequate, emphasizing the crucial need for improvement in training programs in this field.
近年来，观察到越来越多的机器人泌尿外科手术，这凸显了扩大机器人手术培训机会的必要性。我们的目的是调查西班牙泌尿科住院医师培训中机器人培训的情况，以确定显著的不足。
在西班牙泌尿科住院医师数据库中，对登记的住院医师和年轻泌尿科医师协会的西班牙协会进行了一项 20 项的在线调查。该调查评估了对机器人手术的主观意见、机构方面、培训资源和经验。在 2021 年全年共发送了 455 封电子邮件邀请。对回复进行了描述性分析。
参与率达到 30%，共有 135 名住院医师。52%的受访者在其机构中无法获得机器人系统，其中只有 48%的人可以通过外部轮转来弥补这一不足。在有机器人系统的受访者中，分别有 25%和 23%的人报告分别接受了理论和实践培训。正式培训计划的存在率较低（13%）。85%的受访者认为西班牙的机器人手术培训不足。
西班牙住院医师的机器人泌尿外科手术培训被认为是不足的，强调了在这一领域培训计划急需改进。
