What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the satisfaction and surgical proficiency of a robotic breast surgery education program that utilizes cadaver or porcine models. Participants, including breast surgeons and trainees, will complete satisfaction questionnaires and the NASA-Task Load Index (TLX) to assess their experiences. Additionally, the study will develop an AI-based surgical guide and compare the effectiveness of training with and without this guide. The evaluation of surgical skills will be conducted using the Global Evaluative Assessment of Robotic Skills (GEARS) at the beginning and end of the training.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include breast surgeons who have completed basic training on a robotic surgical platform and trainees who are willing to participate.
Not a fit: Patients who have not completed the necessary prior training or who do not provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could enhance the training of surgeons in robotic breast surgery, leading to improved surgical outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in using simulation and AI in surgical training, indicating that this approach has potential.
