Training Gaps in Robotic Surgery Across Specialties

Robotic training varies significantly among general surgery, gynecology, and urology residents, affecting their confidence and preparedness.

• Current general surgery residents report 89.5% satisfaction and 27.8% confidence in training, compared to 37.5% satisfaction and 75% confidence in gynecology.
• Urology residents have 76.7 bedside cases and 195.4 console cases per resident, vastly outpacing general surgery (2.2 bedside, 30.2 console) and gynecology (3.1 bedside, 41.7 console).

Focus on enhancing robotic case exposure in residency programs is essential to meet surgical demands.
