| Description: | Cost, logistics, and availability of robotic simulation opportunities suppose a real challenge for robotic surgery training. We aimed to test a new methodology for introduction to robotic surgery pre-congress courses. Two different “introduction to robotic surgery” pre-congress courses were developed. A new methodology using a sleeve/bypass, a ventral TAPP and an inguinal TAPP silicone models was implemented. After the session, the trainees answered a questionnaire to evaluate the course and the methodology using 1–5 Likert scales. A total of 21 participants participated in the courses and (72.2%) had no experience in robotic surgery. All trainees rated the course as good or excellent. There was a strong agreement between participants regarding the adequacy of the silicone models for this type of simulation/course. Trainees agree that the course gave them more confidence to perform a real robotic procedure, increased their interest in robotic surgery and made them feel ready to start their robotic surgery pathway. Congresses are a frequent way of contact between surgeons and robotic systems, mostly in the form of technical demonstrations or pre-congress courses. Our methodology showed that it is possible to allow for this contact in a low-cost way. This kind of courses is well received by congress delegates and have a positive educational impact. Despite of being "Discovery” courses, they have a positive impact on the congress, on the acquisition of robotic surgery skills and increase the interest in robotic surgery. |
