It has been suggested that the robotic surgery platform is an enabling technology that allows surgeons that are not trained in standard laparoscopy to perform minimally-invasive surgery. This raises the question of whether or not training in laparoscopy is necessary for current and future surgeons. The current status of laparoscopy in urology in the United States is reviewed along with a perspective regarding the potential future role of laparoscopic training as robotic surgery becomes increasingly applied to most major urologic procedures.
有人认为，机器人手术平台是一种使能技术，它可以让未经标准腹腔镜手术培训的外科医生进行微创手术。这就提出了一个问题，即对于当前和未来的外科医生来说，是否有必要进行腹腔镜手术培训。本文回顾了美国泌尿外科腹腔镜手术的现状，并就腹腔镜培训的未来潜在作用进行了探讨，因为机器人手术越来越应用于大多数主要的泌尿外科手术。
