Description: This surgical tutorial will be conducted by robotic surgeons with extensive experience in the field, who will share in a didactic manner the techniques and instruments used to operate with few portals and low docking on a large number of frequent and diverse cases in gynecology clinics. Through videos, they will facilitate understanding of how to proceed quickly and safely, both in the planned step-by-step and in unusual situations. The concept of doing more with less increases patient satisfaction and reduces costs, without compromising results, which can facilitate the expansion of the robotic platform, especially in places where cost is a key factor.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:

1. Objective Understand the logic behind few portals and low docking, their benefits for the patient, their limitations and how to adopt them
2. Objective Value less invasive access in the treatment of different pathologies, using the available tools to the maximum and in the best way
3. Objective Carry out initial cases safely in this manner and solve any difficulties that arise throughout the procedure, including with new portals, if necessary
