The Association's mission is to help spread robotic techniques in general surgery and its related specialties. More specifically, the Association plans to undertake activities aimed to: Provide a forum to compare and discuss practical aspects of surgery; Facilitate the opportunity to contact colleagues, experts, proctors and trainers; Favor multi-institutional programs at all times; Support and favor clinical and experimental research aimed at expanding the clinical application of robotic surgery; and Develop standards of practice that encourage quality improvement in clinical practice for the purpose of enhancing patient safety. To that end, the Association will: Build and mantain an interactive web environment allowing surgeons to share videos, advice and innovations; Facilitate the opportunity to contact colleagues, experts, proctors and trainers; Organize exchanges, stages, and case observations, and conduct virtual and on-site meetings; Organize, support and standardize educational models and training programs; and Support and favor clinical and experimental research aimed at expanding the clinical application of robotic surgery.
