Abstract
Background
This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of microsurgery practice during an interval in robotic surgical training.
Methods
Two participant groups with 30 trainees each practiced Thread the Rings 1 on a dV-Trainer. There were four 2-h training sessions, with a 72-h interval between each session. Group A received no additional training during the study period. During every interval, Group B practiced a similar 2-h ring penetration exercise using a microscope three times (once every 24 h).
Results
The 72-h delay between two sessions for Group A caused the forgetting effect. For Group B, additional microscope-based training aided memory retention. After the training session, Group B presented a significantly higher score than Group A in Thread the Ring 1 learning curves.
Conclusions
Adding microsurgical skill training into the basic robotic-surgery training curriculum could be helpful because additional trainings with a binocular microscope could improve robotic surgical skill levels.
