We aimed to test a new methodology for introduction to robotic surgery pre-congress courses. Two different \u201cintroduction to robotic surgery\u201d pre-congress courses were developed. A new methodology using a sleeve\/bypass, a ventral TAPP and an inguinal TAPP silicone models was implemented. After the session, the trainees answered a questionnaire to evaluate the course and the methodology using 1\u20135 Likert scales. A total of 21 participants participated in the courses and (72.2%) had no experience in robotic surgery. All trainees rated the course as good or excellent. There was a strong agreement between participants regarding the adequacy of the silicone models for this type of simulation\/course. Trainees agree that the course gave them more confidence to perform a real robotic procedure, increased their interest in robotic surgery and made them feel ready to start their robotic surgery pathway. Congresses are a frequent way of contact between surgeons and robotic systems, mostly in the form of technical demonstrations or pre-congress courses. Our methodology showed that it is possible to allow for this contact in a low-cost way. This kind of courses is well received by congress delegates and have a positive educational impact. Despite of being \"Discovery\u201d courses, they have a positive impact on the congress, on the acquisition of robotic surgery skills and increase the interest in robotic surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11701-024-02077-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,14]],"date-time":"2024-08-14T09:02:16Z","timestamp":1723626136000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["RoboticSurgery4all: are discovery courses important for robotic surgery skills acquisition?"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3172-0698","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M\u00e1rio Rui","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3417-8088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bj\u00f6rn","family":"M\u00fcck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jean-Pierre","family":"Faure","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7633-2189","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philippe","family":"Topart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6191-5912","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel Castelo-Branco","family":"Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2077_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"224","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jss.2022.02.056","volume":"277","author":"S Puliatti","year":"2022","unstructured":"Puliatti S, Amato M, Mazzone E, et al.
