Current training landscape for novice robotic surgeons: an international investigative survey by the Junior-ERUS/Young academic urologists (YAU) robotics in urology working group

IntroductionWhile robotic surgical training is crucial for preparing skilled surgeons, the landscape of available training programs is not well-defined. Many institutions offer structured curricula, yet transparency about training modalities, caseloads, and eligibility criteria for novice surgeons i...
