Training in robotic surgery: initial experience using the Brazilian College of Surgeons model.

Objective: to present the initial experience of the first tier of surgeons trained in the new model of robotic surgery training proposed by the CBC.

Methods: we retrospectively collected data and information on training with the Da Vinci SI robotic system. The variables analyzed were, in the pre-clinical phase, time of completion of each step by surgeon and number of hours in the simulator, and in the clinical phase, operations carried out by the training group, number of surgeons who performed nine procedures in ninety days ("9 in 90"), time of docking, time of console, and results surgical.
