Description
Summary:Background The concept of robotic microsurgery is becoming increasingly known as several robotic systems tailored to the specific needs of microsurgery are being introduced. Training with these devices is essential to draw conclusions about their potential clinical utility. This study describes the training and learning curve of experienced microsurgeons and complete novices using such a robotic surgical system in combination with an exoscope.
