ObjectiveTo explore the training mode of robotic surgical system for thoracic surgeons.MethodsThirteen surgeons enrolled in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Ruijin Hospital from May 2015 to December 2019 were targeted for training. Training methods included learning basic knowledge of Da-Vinci robotic system, simulation platform training, physical simulation training, training on animal models, practice of thoracic surgery and video analysis.ResultsThe robotic operation skills of the surgeons were improved. Currently 4 surgeons were qualified for using robotic system to do thoracic surgery, and 9 surgeons had assistant qualification.ConclusionMultiple modes of training can help surgeons learn and master the techniques of robotic surgery, and will provide the basis for robotic training standard.
