Randomised trial on the economic impact of proficiency-based progression vs conventional robotic surgical training.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of proficiency-based progression (PBP) training compared to conventional surgical training approaches, and to determine whether PBP training implementation is economically justified when scaled to large numbers of trainees.

Methods

Economic analysis was performed using data from the prospective, randomised, and blinded Orsi Surgical Skills E-learning Trial (OSSET; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04541615) at ORSI Academy (Belgium), where 47 medical trainees without prior robotic surgery experience were randomised into four groups, each with progressively reduced adherence to the PBP methodology. All trainees completed simulation-based training on a validated bladder-urethra anastomosis model, ranging from full PBP training with
