Learning robotic surgery: New convergences with aeronautics

The increasing number of publications comparing aeronautics and medical environments testifies to the strong similarities between these high-risk activities. Robotic surgery, through the need to develop specific technical skills and to optimize teamwork, is at the forefront of this cross-fertilization of aviators and caregivers. Technical prerequisites, learning through simulation, team training or the principle of subsidiarity are all relevant analogies to be shared. Potential Optimization Techniques are another direction to explore.
