Training in Robotic Colorectal Surgery

In the light of current dissemination robotic surgery, there will likely be fundamental skills requirements to complete general surgery residency, and need for a structured training curriculum has been supported by several associations program directors. Training colorectal surgeon two different aspects consider: learning how use platform, procedural strictly related surgery. Broad consensus exists on fact that should have modular approach including theoretical knowledge, case observation, simulation, proctored training. Additionally, ideal provide an objective assessment acquired with well-established proceed from one step next, non-operative also implemented evaluated. Another relevant feature is component-based approach, which consists in deconstructing procedure defined measurable components can evaluated more objectively. Finally, we are not only console surgeons, but bedside assistants since correct trocar positioning reliable feedback operating table essential effective safe completion procedure.
