Abstract
RODRIGUEZ, Evelio; WILEY NIFONG, L and RANDOLPH CHITWOOD, W.. Training in Tele-Surgery and robotic surgery: Six years experience. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2007, vol.60, n.4, pp.363-369. ISSN 0004-0614.
Over the last 20 years there has been a move in all surgical specialties towards less invasive surgical procedures. The most recent step is robotic surgery or better described as surgical telemanipulation technology which has slowly been adapted worldwide for many reasons including: cost, learning curve, available technology, and applicability to the different surgical specialties. Nonetheless, its use continues to grow in all surgical fields. Our center has been a pioneer in the use and training of robotic surgical techniques. In this manuscript, we describe the organization and experience of our training program.
