Assessing effectiveness and skill transferability in multi-platform simulated training for robotic surgical skills: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT: With more robotic platforms approved for clinical use, interest in assessing skill transferability has increased. Skill transfer has yet to be studied amongst trainees in early stages of robotic training. This systematic review evaluated skill transferability of robotic platforms amongst trainees in simulated settings. The systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Five databases were searched from inception until 20 January 2025. Inclusion criteria had studies using simulation-based modalities, more than one robotic platform, and objective metrics or global rating scales for skills assessment. Search identified 609 unique studies. Five studies were included. Platforms analysed were Da Vinci X, Si and single-port system, Hugo RAS and CMR Versius. Consistent performance
