Advanced Course in Robotic assisted Thoracic Surgery
For nearly 30 years, advances in minimally invasive surgery have
demonstrated several benefits for patients. Robotic surgery has emerged

improvements in thoracoscopic surgery.
The objectives of this course are: to describe the latest practices in
the standardization of robotic thoracic procedures, to provide a
blueprint to build robotic surgical teams, and to emphasize nontechnical
skills that are important in developing a robotic thoracic program.
