European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE) and Surgical Science are working together to develop new standards for robotic surgery training.
The Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgical Education and Assessment (GESEA) programme is a structured educational programme for Gynaecological Endoscopy. It trains and certifies knowledge and practical skills prior to surgical competence and is the official Diploma programme of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE).
In October 2024 ESGE introduced a groundbreaking robotic surgery certification with simulation benchmarks to ensure trainees are reaching safe levels of proficiency before working in a live surgical environment.
Here, Professor Benoit Rabischong, head of educational and scientific activity at ESGE, and Anders Melander, Senior Director for Medical Affairs at Surgical Science, discuss the benefits of the new certification and explain how this collaboration is a blueprint for success in incorporating simulation into surgical training.
