The Importance of Technical and Non-technical Skills in Robotic Surgery Training

Justin William Collins et al. Eur Urol Focus. 2018 Sep.

Abstract

We discuss the differences in cognitive (thinking) and other non-technical skills (NTS) in robotic surgery training compared to other approaches to surgery. Recognition of the importance of NTS and cognitive training will aid the development of robotic surgery curricula.
