Summary Background The rapidly expanding field of robot-assisted surgery necessitates a parallel evolution in surgical education. A surgeon introduced to the telemanipulator control system can count on technological support that increases precision and supports decisions made during surgery. Generally, the surgeon (operator) is an integral part of the robot, so the synergy of this cooperation may bring the expected progress in access to high-quality services for many patients. Methods This review explores the current state of robotic surgery education, analyzing its limitations and established applications. Additionally, it delves into promising future directions, including the potential of artificial intelligence and advancements in training methods. Results This review identifies key challenges and highlights innovative strategies such as virtual reality simulation and cadaveric training. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of developing standardized national curricula to ensure consistent training quality. Conclusion This review emphasizes the need for a robust educational framework to equip surgeons with the necessary skills for safe and effective robotic surgery integration. The use of high-tech tools also requires the use of innovative educational methods. By embracing innovative technologies and prioritizing a standardized curriculum, we can ensure that the future of surgical training empowers surgeons and ultimately improves patient outcomes.
