Magnus Nilsson, MD, PhD, FACS, Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, emphasizes that minimally invasive surgical techniques have a learning curve, and complications may increase during the initial stages of adoption. Therefore, new centers must approach the integration of these techniques cautiously, employing mentoring programs and progressing step by step. He highlights the significant role of robotic surgery in recent advancements, noting that robotic surgery has a shorter learning curve compared to traditional minimally invasive techniques. Dr Nilsson expresses confidence in the future of robotics as a crucial element in the evolution of surgical approaches. The interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2023 Congress in Madrid, Spain.
