Robot-assisted laparoscopic skills development: formal versus informal training.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:It has been suggested that renal laparoscopy has resulted in an underuse of partial nephrectomy (PN) for small renal masses in the U.S. In the absence of evidence-based medicine (EBM) guide-lines, multiple-perspective reasoning is required where complete v partial nephrectomy and the laparoscopic...
