Incorporating this curriculum into training necessitates adherence to the protocol as outlined previously. Ensuring practice through hands on training of both the technical aspects of emergency undocking, as well as delineation of roles of OR personnel, is essential towards successful training. All three sessions of pre-training simulation, debriefing, and post-training simulation are likely required to ensure maximal benefit to the learner.
An attempt should be made to create as realistic a l...

The purpose of this training is to improve robotic surgeons&#39; confidence, knowledge, and proficiency of performing an emergency undocking of the robotic system, and to improve the surgeon&#39;s ability to lead an interprofessional team through effective communication of clearly delineated roles in the event of an emergency undocking. Despite the abundance of personnel and equipment in the operating room, there is a lack of experience managing these crises1,2. Current training requirements of online course work and a short period of proctored cases leave many surgeons feeling their training is inadequate3. Regardless of these feelings of inadequacy, prior studies have established that surgeons will encounter at least 1 OR emergency in their career4. Strategies to improve on these feelings of inadequacy include increasing usage of simulation training5. It is well established that simulation training is becoming inseparable from surgical education6. Prior studies have determined that simulation-based team training is an invaluable tool in helping learners overcome cognitive and behavioral gaps in surgical education and is useful as a tool to allow trainees in sessions with other team members the ability to demonstrate baselines for knowledge and communication skills, while improving performance following combining simulation exercises and debriefing4,7,8,9,10,11.
To improve robotic crisis management, various simulator-training scenarios have been developed1,12,13. While there have been numerous studies examining the effects of team training, there is a dearth of research analyzing training on complex OR scenarios4. During complex OR emergencies, checklists and the clear delineations of roles through effective communication are of paramount importance. In robotic surgery, there is a paucity of literature available outlining protocols or training for this procedure14. Simulation has proven effective in validating checklists for use during operating-room crises to improve surgical care15. Here, we present a training curriculum to allow robotic surgeons to develop the skills necessary to lead an interprofessional team in an emergency undocking of a robotic system. Implementation of this curriculum takes place over three sessions in an in-situ environment, as laid out in Figure 1, and can be used to provide training, demonstrate skills for credentialing, and is easily reproducible in any hospital with a robotic system.

emergency undocking in robotic surgery: a simulation curriculum

The following is a training platform to allow robotic surgeons to develop the skills necessary to lead an interprofessional team in emergency undocking of a robotic system. In traditional robotic training for surgeons, a brief web based overview of performing an emergency undocking is provided during initial introductory training to the robotics system. During such a process, there is no training in delineation of interdisciplinary roles for operating room (OR) personnel. The training presented here uses formative simulation and debriefing followed by a lecture. For the simulation, a modified gynecologic simulator is draped in a steep trendelenburg position consistent with most gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. The training torso is modified using tubing hooked to pressure bags of red food colored IV fluid used to simulate a catastrophic vessel injury on demand. Positioned throughout the operating room setting is an interprofessional team consisting of embedded standardized persons (ESPs) to fulfill the roles of a circulating nurse, scrub nurse, anesthesiologist, and bedside assist surgeon. Robotic surgeons are presented a case scenario necessitating emergency undocking, and given control of the robotic instruments. The scenario is terminated following either successful completion of an emergency undock, or at five minutes due to the emergent nature of the case. A debriefing session with hands on training of the steps to emergency undocking, necessary equipment, troubleshooting techniques, and operating room personnel roles follows the simulation. The learners are presented with a short lecture reemphasizing the material presented in the debriefing for their own self-study. This training results in improved time accessing the patient, improved knowledge, confidence, and completion of critical actions, and can be replicated in most institutions. All robotic surgeons should be able to demonstrate competence in this crucial intervention. A limitation of the curriculum is ability to access the in-situ environment for training purposes.

By incorporating this curriculum as outlined in Figure 1 and the undocking protocol outlined in Figure 2 during training in robotic-assisted surgery, our study demonstrated an overall improvement in the confidence, knowledge, and critical actions performed by the surgeon as demonstrated in Figure 3. Baseline measurements in knowledge and confidence were collected on all participants immediately prior...
