This scientific program is designed to provide surgeons with extensive and up-to-date knowledge in the field of robotic general surgery. The program is intended for the training of both surgeons interested in learning the basic principles and techniques, and fully-trained surgeons willing to expand their robotic surgical activity.

At the end of this course, participants should be able to: 

- become familiar with the function and operation of the robotic surgical system

- understand the rationale behind patient positioning and surgical approaches

- describe the standard robotic port placement and variations for performing various robotic abdomino-pelvic surgical procedures

-recognize the anatomical markers necessary for performing these procedures.

-review the basic technical aspects of robotic general surgery and be able to describe the sequence of steps required to perform various robotic surgical procedures
