In the ever-evolving realm of robotic surgery, researchers conducted a systematic review to pinpoint reliable tools for assessing surgeons’ technical skills. Among 247 studies, global rating scales and the da Vinci Skills Simulator took the lead. However, scrutiny revealed a lack of robust validation for both manual and automated assessment tools. The verdict: before entering accreditation processes, further validation and evaluation are crucial, ensuring precision in assessing surgeons’ robotic prowess for optimal patient safety and outcomes.
