Abstract
The field of robotic surgery has evolved tremendously in past two decades heralded by the approval of the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). Since then, the technique of robotic surgery has been refined and steps established for various surgeries including robotic nephrectomy. As experience with robotic surgery matures, we are much more aware of the intricacies of the robot-operator-patient interaction and the essential components of a good robotic system including ergonomics, surgeon feedback and master controller technology. As various new robotic systems emerge in this space in the coming years, the challenge for the new and existing generation of robotic surgeons lie in understanding the elements of the robotic surgical system in order to transition to the next. We explore key features and learning pedagogy of new robotic systems in this chapter.
