Purpose: To compare the blood flow in the internal thoracic artery when dissected endoscopically in a conventional manner, in addition to develop a reliable experimental training model for the surgical team.
Methods: Paired experimental study. Ten pigs were operated and had both internal thoracic arteries dissected, the right with a conventional technique and the left by video endoscopy.
Background: The creation of the da Vinci Single-Site© Surgical Platform (DVSSP) allowed robotic surgery to perform single portal procedures. Due to the characteristics of the robotic single-site system, the triangulation of the instruments was optimized, facilitating the execution of the movements. For this, the care in the placement of the portal have fundamental importance.

Aim: To evaluate the performance of a general surgery department's residents in a video-simulated laparoscopic cholecystectomy in order to understand whether training with virtual reality is sufficient to provide the skills that are normally acquired in hands-on experience at the operating room.
Methods: An observational study with twenty-five first- and second-year general surgery residents.
