Assessment of first-touch skills in robotic surgical training using hi-Sim and the hinotori surgical robot system among surgeons and novices.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Surgeons' adaptability to robotic manipulation remains underexplored. This study evaluated the participants' first-touch robotic training skills using the hinotori surgical robot system and its simulator (hi-Sim) to assess adaptability.

Methods

We enrolled 11 robotic surgeons (RS), 13 laparoscopic surgeons (LS), and 15 novices (N). After tutorial and training, participants performed pegboard tasks, camera and clutch operations, energizing operations, and suture sponge tasks on hi-Sim. They also completed a suture ligation task using the hinotori surgical robot system on a suture simulator. Median scores and task completion times were compared.

Results

Pegboard task scores were 95.0%, 92.0%, and 91.5% for the RS, LS, and N groups, respectively, with differences
