Short summary

Robotic surgery is increasing in both types and numbers of procedures. To keep the surgeons fully qualified relevant training and also reliable assessment should be offered. There is a need for structured basic robotic skills education and also procedure-specific training and assessment. Before assessing surgeons's qualifications comprehensive studies must be made to gather validity data to offer reliable assessments.

Rationale

Aim:

- Define cross-specialty consensus on basic learning goals for robotic surgery

- Gather validity data when performing a robotic-assisted right-sided colectomy both in the clinical and simulated setting.
