Simbionix and Intuitive Surgical developed simulation-based suturing training for the da Vinci system. This Suturing Module is a highly realistic educational solution that provides suturing and knot-tying tutorials with performance feedback. Simulation-based training is essential prior to clinical practice, in order to enable the surgeon to become competent with the technical aspects of surgery, especially when a new device is being used.
