ESSO Webinar on Essentials of Robotic Surgery: How to Get Started

07 June, 2023 - Preview

Venue: Online

Time: 6 to 7.30 pm CEST

Aim of the webinar

It is becoming common practice to use robotic approach for oncological cases. Having more robotic platforms available, an increased used of robotic approach is anticipated in the next few years.Starting with a robotic program and gaining surgical skills on robotics are key for those wishing to do robotic surgery.

The aim of this webinar is to make participants aware of the impact of robotics on the surgical management of oncological pathology so they can better apply new technologies to everyday practice.
