Description
Carlos Ardila and co-authors review robot-assisted surgical training in medical education in a 2025 analysis of randomized trials. Robotic training now appears in many schools, but its value over standard training needs pooled proof.
The search through mid 2025 found twenty-three trials with close to twelve hundred trainees. Skill performance was the most reported outcome, and most trials favored robotic training. A pooled check confirmed a clear gain in skill scores with high certainty. Resident-only checks pointed the same way. Gains also touched speed, errors, and mental load in parts of the data. Educators get strong backing for robotic practice, with wide spread in expected gains.
