Dear Colleagues, Dear Members, Dear Friends,

This year, we are very happy to host you in Marseille for the 4th meeting of our society.

This edition illustrates the dynamism in the field of robotic surgery in Europe: it is the first time that our meeting associates a local society

(French speaking group in Gynaecological Robotic Surgery-CRG) and SERGS.

This year, we chose the theme of training. After more than 5 years of experience in robotic surgery for several centers in Europe, we think it is

time to teach the young surgeons.

Robotic assistance offers us the possibility to teach and learn differently. Though the experience of international and European experts, we want

to propose a standardization of the da Vinci’s surgery in benign and oncologic indications. In collaboration with ESGO, an optional pre-course will

be organized for young surgeons.

The themes will be developed throughout our meeting on Thursday and Friday, and in beetwen, we will appreciate to meet you at the SERGS

convivial dinner on Thursday night.

Kind regards,

EricLambaudie FabriceNarducci CRG President SERGS Vice President CRG Vice President Paoli Calmettes Institute Oscar Lambret Center Marseille, France Lille, France
