“…6 ) [ 20 ], robot-assisted radical prostatectomy [ 63 ] (Fig. 7 ) and penile implant surgery [ 64 ] have been validated for surgical training. These models have a high degree of anatomical and functional realism, including simulated blood flow, cautery and realistic suturability properties [ 65 ].…”

We conducted a comprehensive review of surgical simulation models used in robotic surgery education. We present an assessment of the validity and cost-effectiveness of virtual and augmented reality simulation, animal, cadaver and synthetic organ models. Face, content, construct, concurrent and predictive validity criteria were applied to each simulation model. There are six major commercial simulation machines available for robot-assisted surgery. The validity of virtual reality (VR) simulation curricula for psychomotor assessment and skill acquisition for the early phase of robotic surgery training has been demonstrated. The widespread adoption of VR simulation has been limited by the high cost of these machines. Live animal and cadavers have been the accepted standard for robotic surgical simulation since it began in the early 2000s. Our review found that there is a lack of evidence in the literature to support the use of animal and cadaver for robotic surgery training. The effectiveness of these models as a training tool is limited by logistical, ethical, financial and infection control issues. The latest evolution in synthetic organ model training for robotic surgery has been driven by new 3D-printing technology. Validated and cost-effective high-fidelity procedural models exist for robotic surgery training in urology. The development of synthetic models for the other specialties is not as mature. Expansion into multiple surgical disciplines and the widespread adoption of synthetic organ models for robotic simulation training will require the ability to engineer scalability for mass production. This would enable a transition in robotic surgical education where digital and synthetic organ models could be used in place of live animals and cadaver training to achieve robotic surgery competency.

“…Operations such as tumour resection or replacement of the diseased organ with a donated organ are used. Cancer surgeries involve complex training compared to other procedures, which presents an issue due to restricted working hours and shorter training programs for young surgeons [ 107 ]. Consequently, the need for models for effective training has been provided by 3DP models representing different human anatomies and malignancies.…”

As a variety of novel technologies, 3D printing has been considerably applied in the field of health care, including cancer treatment. With its fast prototyping nature, 3D printing could transform basic oncology discoveries to clinical use quickly, speed up and even revolutionise the whole drug discovery and development process. This literature review provides insight into the up-to-date applications of 3D printing on cancer research and treatment, from fundamental research and drug discovery to drug development and clinical applications. These include 3D printing of anticancer pharmaceutics, 3D-bioprinted cancer cell models and customised nonbiological medical devices. Finally, the challenges of 3D printing for cancer applications are elaborated, and the future of 3D-printed medical applications is envisioned.

“…This model was engineered with 3D printing, and designed for training in penile prosthetic surgery. 23 These and other 3D models permit the use of high-validity, full-procedure simulation to be used in surgical training. There has also been an application in the real world with patient-specific models created to help surgeons prepare preoperatively for complex cases.…”

There has been a major shift from the old paradigm of 'see one, do one, teach one' in medical training due in large part to resident work-hour restrictions and required oversight in the operating room. In response to this, advancements in technology have allowed for the introduction of more objective measures to assess the skill competency and proficiency of surgical trainees. Patient safety and trainee well-being are important drivers for this new model, and so surgical training programs are adopting simulation into their curriculum. Urology is uniquely positioned at the forefront of new emerging technologies in surgery, because of the field's commitment to safe and efficient minimally invasive surgery and endourological procedures. Due to these technically challenging procedures, urological training must incorporate these educational technologies to allow for objective skills assessment, skills transfer, and ultimately providing optimal patient care with the production of proficient and competent urological trainees.
