The European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) has released guidelines on training in robotic colorectal surgery to standardize training and assessment methods in this field. The guidelines address topics such as knowledge and technical skills required, assessment of competency and proficiency, and the need for further research. The recommendations are based on a literature review and expert opinion, with some supported by low-quality evidence. The guidelines recommend the use of simulation training and in-person mentoring, but acknowledge limited evidence on their effects on patient outcomes. Further research is needed to determine the impact of training methods on patient outcomes and establish best practices in robotic colorectal surgery training. [Extracted from the article]
