ORCID IDs of the authors: E.M. 0000-0003-1932-1800; P.D.O. 0000-0002-2771-2919; A.M. 0000-0002-1253-1592 Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has become the most widely used approach for the surgical treatment of prostate cancer.[1] In this context, the increasing use of robotic surgical platforms has been accompanied with an increasing need for standardized training models aimed at defining structured surgical curricula for robot-assisted systems.[2] Indeed, from a clinical viewpoint, technology innovation in robot-assisted surgery should be sustained by adequate improvements in surgical training programs to guarantee virtually the same clinical outcomes among different centers adopting new robot-assisted surgical platforms. To achieve this goal, the European Association of Urology Robotic Urology Section (ERUS) has designed and developed the first structured curriculum in urology that focuses on RARP. [3,4] The aim of this structured-validated training program is to drive a surgeon with limited robotic experience toward a complete independent full RARP for maximum improvement in the global oncological and functional outcomes of patients treated during their learning curve. Moreover, only ERUS-certified host centers are allowed to provide curriculum courses for RARP to guarantee same quality of training facilities.
