Proctoring boosts surgical skills and reduces operating times

Proctoring in robotic surgery significantly improved surgical skills and reduced operating times, according to a retrospective analysis of surgeons’ feedback in a single-center program. The study revealed that proctoring not only enhanced individual surgical abilities but also positively influenced the number of cases performed and overall surgical quality. Surgeons expressed general satisfaction, noting that learning needs varied based on their experience and role. A structured curriculum and regular feedback modules are recommended for future training.
