Robotic surgery represents a cornerstone for surgical treatment of different diseases. Since the Da Vinci patent expiry, several new robotic systems entered the market in the effort to spread to a greater extent the benefits of robotic surgery. Even if clinical comparison between new systems and the Da Vinci platform are currently available, there is lack of reporting about subjective perception of surgeons approaching new platforms; personal feedback on fluency and precision, ergonomics, OR communication and other items are missing.The aim of the study is to validate a practical, reproducible, and comparable instrument that can be applied in both clinical research and in the evaluation processes of newly introduced surgical robotic platforms.
