Abstract

The use of advanced surgical technologies like the da Vinci Surgical Robot requires both surgical and technical skills. Initially, training for such devices was offered and led by the medical device company that created the robot. Since the widespread of robotic surgery, initial and continuing robotic surgery education becomes imperative. This chapter describes several robotic surgery educational and training opportunities for novice, intermediate, and expert robotic surgeons.
