Abstract

Minimally invasive surgery is becoming increasingly common, yet laparoscopic techniques often present a steep learning curve. Robotic surgical systems can offer a more efficient training pathway. The research compared robotic and laparoscopic simulation-based training in developing surgical competency among surgical trainees and medical students. A total of 230 participants were randomly assigned to two groups: surgical trainees (Group 1, n=115) and medical students (Group 2, n=115). Group 1 received 6 hours of laparoscopic or robotic simulation training before completing three surgical tasks with cadaveric varieties. Group 2 underwent 3 hours of training on either platform and completed a single surgical task. Performance was assessed using the Surgical Competency Assessment Tool (SCAT, maximum score of 30), the time taken to complete each task and the number of suture errors. The results showed that Group 1 demonstrated significantly better performance after robotic training, with a median SCAT score of 27.00 for the robotic group compared to 18.00 for the laparoscopic group (P
