Abstract: As the development of robotic surgery in urology, the simulation training platform is playing an important role in the training of urologists on robotic surgery training. Currently, the available training simulators for urological robotic surgery are composed of virtual simulators such as VR and AR, and physical (mechanical) simulators such as dry-lab and wet-lab. The reality and validity of various simulation training platforms have been validated in different degree by many researches, which demonstrated the useful and helpful effect on the training and improving of robotic surgery skills. However, we need further study to develop more useful and precise training modules, to integrate advantages of different simulators, and to establish more reasonable learning curve.
