Robotic training program for unexperienced novice surgeons
The curricular structure of RoCS bases on five modules: multimodular didactics, standardization, training structure, interdisciplinary workplace and evaluation. The aim is to ensure a basic competence of robotic surgcial skills for unexperienced novice surgeons (residents).

intraoperative workload
The questionnaire NASA Task Load Index consists of 6 quesions addressing the individual overall workload. The question of level of procedure's difficulty is used to analyse the overall workload additionally referring to "Lowndes BR, Forsyth KL, Blocker RC, Dean PG, Truty MJ, Heller SF, Blackmon S, Hallbeck MS, Nelson H.
