In this 30-minute interactive session, two international leaders from different specialties meet in a "Clinical Dialogue" format to debate the future of surgical education. The goal is to analyze how robotics is transforming the learning curve and what changes are necessary to train the surgeons of tomorrow.

Dr. Fernandez discusses the importance of lymphatic drainage assessment and the various pathways involved in lymphatic diseases, emphasizing the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy as a valuable tool. The presentation highlights key findings from studies suggesting no significant benefits of pelvic lymphadenectomy in low-risk endometrial cancer. However, for high-risk cases, conflicting retrospective studies exist. The speaker emphasizes the significance of sentinel lymph node biopsy in providing an adequate assessment tool for lymphatic diseases and guiding appropriate adjuvant treatments. Detailed surgical techniques for pelvic lymphadenectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy are demonstrated, including anatomical landmarks, instrument placement, and intraoperative considerations. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of standardized techniques, recognizing anatomical landmarks, and the continuous learning curve associated with these advanced surgical procedures in gynecological oncology.

Since the description of the first vaginal hysterectomy in 1813, the surgical technique has experienced minor advancements compared to the associated technology for the same procedure. These advancements allow us to perform this surgery in a more precise, efficient, and safe manner for patients. Despite a slight trend towards a reduction in its performance, in the United States, it remains the most frequent surgery among the female population. That is why it requires proper learning and standardization of surgical steps, which we will explain in detail. Not only that, but we will also teach different techniques for the same surgical step, which will provide us with additional surgical resources to apply in a more personalized manner. This lecture is recommended, from surgeons in training who can familiarize themselves with the anatomical spaces,, to advanced surgeons who may find certain surgical maneuvers performed using robotic surgery interesting.
