Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery has expanded on it's surgical application and it is also noted an increase in surgical procedures complexity. Occurrence of emergency situations that require conversion of the minimally invasive access route to open access routes is uncommon. The urgent undocking of the robotic platform is a complex and neglected process in robotic surgery training.
