Development of minimally invasive and robot-assisted techniques in all surgical sections demands extensive knowledge of the anatomical fundamentals. The laparoendoscopic view and macroscopic details of the anatomy are often different from what we have learned as students in the Anatomical Theater. Therefore, in surgical training courses on anatomical session with demonstration of specimens and performance of cadaver operations are important parts of advanced surgical education. The deep understanding of the detailed anatomy is the corner stone for the successful implementation and learning of innovative new minimally invasive and robot-assisted techniques.
Considering the importance of the anatomical fundamentals for the safe performance of advanced surgical procedures, this Research Topic will provide an overview of our current understanding.
