Despite robot-assisted partial nephrectomy [RAPN] is a complex procedure, no validated training pathway is currently available for surgeons who start a RAPN program. The aim of the study is to define a structured training curriculum for RAPN based on simulation activity, clinical training and non-technical skills, with the intent to improve clinical outcomes during RAPN learning curve.
