In an evaluation of robotic surgical training, participants—including experienced robotic surgeons, laparoscopic surgeons, and novices—demonstrated varying skill levels across first-touch tasks. Robotic surgeons outperformed both laparoscopic surgeons and novices in pegboard and camera operations. It was observed that prior experience notably influenced first-touch skills, while overall surgical experience affected suturing performance. These findings emphasize the need for tailored training programs to enhance adaptability and proficiency in robotic surgery.
