Robot-assisted surgery is spreading since the last decade, but little is known about the impact of the use of the robot on surgeon practices and behavior in the operation theatre.

Interviewing senior surgeons trained for doing robot-assisted surgery, this qualitative study is expected to provide new insights to understand the surgeons' behavioral changes when using a robot.

This study will contribute to improving training programs in robot-assisted surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Senior abdominal and pelvic cavity surgeons (i.e., visceral surgeons, gynecologist surgeons, or urologists).
• Having completed a robot-assisted training
• Commonly doing laparoscopic surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

• Those who refuse to participate in the study

Study participants will comprise senior abdominal and pelvic cavity surgeons (i.e., visceral surgeons, gynecologist surgeons, and urologists) having completed their robot-assisted surgery training, and commonly doing laparoscopic surgery.
