43 The value of a 1-day multidisciplinary robot surgery training for novice robot surgeons Results Participants Of the 20 physicians who participated in the multidisciplinary robot surgery training, fourteen completed the demographics questionnaire (“Questionnaire 1”), the results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Participant characteristics Characteristics Participants (n=14) Occupation Specialists 5 Residents 9 Discipline Urology 2 General Surgery 9 Gynaecology 3 Robot simulation experience <10 hours 11 >30 hours 3 Surgical robot experience 0 hours 6 1-10 hours 6 10-20 hours 1 >30 hours 1 All participants completed the hands-on draping and docking exercises and visited the interactive lecture of the robot anaesthesiologist. There was no significant difference in both simulation and real-life robot experience between residents and specialists. Most participants (11/14) did not complete the suggested 10 h of skill simulator training as preparation of the multidisciplinary robot surgery training.
