Abstract
Robotic surgery requires a complex set of skills not entirely scalable from laparoscopic or open surgery. While some of the robotic maneuvers are more natural than matched traditional laparoscopic steps, the platform, surgical conduct, and planning are foreign to most surgeons. This is evident in the long learning curve to achieve technical proficiency. To facilitate learning, a graded approach has shown promise to efficiently ramp up to safe operations.
