Robotic lobectomy: how to teach thoracic residents.

ABSTRACT: Robotic thoracic surgery emerged at the beginning of the 21st century and keep presenting the continuous development of its robotic systems, tools, and associated techniques. Strong clinical results including safety and oncological outcomes have fostered the dissemination of the robotic platform all over the world. However, there are still some safety concerns, especially regarding more elaborated procedures as lung resections, during the learning curve. In consequence, training programs for surgeons and surgery residents have been proposed to put into operation a strong and complete curriculum for robotic surgery and increase safety during the learning process. Also, the implementation of the training program makes the process complete and efficient. Lung lobectomies are complex procedure
