The contribution of personalized video feedback to robotic partial nephrectomy training in realistic 3D tumor kidney models: design, production and implementation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Traditional surgical training relies on a master-apprentice model, but limitations such as restricted working hours and evolving surgical techniques have led to the integration of simulation-based training. Three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a valuable tool for enhancing surgical education, offering patient-specific anatomical models that improve skill acquisition. Additionally, personalized video feedback may further refine training outcomes. This study investigates the impact of 3D-printed renal models and video-based feedback on skill acquisition in robotic partial nephrectomy training.

Methods

Forty urology residents without prior robotic surgery experience participated in this study. After completing a standardized theoretical and simulation-based
